Harvard RD Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

@rahuilmars231 @TheWaffleMan149 I know someone with a 2230 superscore and a 2200 highest single score who was deferred, but I agree that beyond a certain “floor” (~2250-2300), scores alone carry little weight.

@aBitOfLuck I agree. I think that they compute an academic index with an applicant’s GPA and scores. If that AI is above their floor, then they pass, and I doubt that they really consider scores/gpa after that

@XoXdreamerXoX Well, that’s what I said :wink: Congrats on your likely letter man/woman :smiley: You’re one of the lucky few whose acceptance is basically guaranteed.

LOL I want to email Harvard to say if they send me a LL, I will send them waffles :smiley:

@aBitOfLuck I know a few guys who got rejected with 2400 scores. But I do agree that as long as you meet that 2200-2300 benchmark, scores carry little weight.

@aBitOfLuck What was your score?

@rahuilmars231 Thanks!! It was surprising because I’m not an athlete or legacy.

(Woman)

I scored “a bit” over 2300.

@XoXdreamerXoX That physics pic though. Don’t forget that mgsintheta

@rahuilmars231 How did you fare on the SAT?

@aBitOfLuck That’s a pretty good score. Me? Well, suffice to say that they were not as great as yours. 2170.

@aBitOfLuck I doth proclaim that I fared rather decently on my standardized exams several fortnights ago

@rahuilmars231 Thanks! A 2170 is great, too!

@TheWaffleMan149 I doth congratulate you on your success!

LOL ok Thanks man :slight_smile:
I kind of saved a lot of lives through my NGO so I’m hoping that would make up for the not so stellar testscores.

On a different note, is anyone taking tests Saturday? One of my friends will retake his January SAT exam that day; wish him luck lol

@aBitOfLuck Thank you my good sir. I will rejoin this conversation in a jiffy, after I replace the lens of my monocle

@TheWaffleMan149 By all means, doth enlighten us with your scores my kind sire.

@rahuilmars231 That should more than make up for any potential weakness in your score :wink:

@rahuilmars231 My monocle hath been fixed. I scored one score and thirteen points as a composite, which shall hopefully not hurt me
