<p>if so what was the school and what were ur stats.</p>
<p>Rice ED</p>
<p>2250 SAT I, 760 and 620 SATIIs
3.85 GPA (declining trend)
top 3.5% of class</p>
<p>It was a reach for me because of my ECs and location (suburban Houston).</p>
<p>Fordhan University
--1.5 high school GPA
--Superb application essay
--Well rounded recommendation letters
--Scored well on their entrance exam
(Every school I'm applying to would be deemed a reach.)</p>
<p>people get admitted to reaches all the time...</p>
<p>ivies are reaches to everyone.</p>
<p>i am talking ucla engineering school with:</p>
<p>4.0 uc gpa (rising trend)
1870 sat (720m, 620w, 530r)
720m2c, 760french
great: ec's, leadership, awards, essays.</p>
<p>Emory ED with:</p>
<p>28 act
3.3 gpa, rising trend
mediocre EC's (soccer, track, a few others)
good essay, probably most unique one they read this year
legacy through my dad</p>
<p>I got into Rice ED</p>
<p>1100 SAT (old)
27 ACT
4.2 GPA and 2/200</p>
<p>I would say it was a reach because of my horrible test scores.</p>
<p>And I think that the original poster meant "reach" for people that had below average applications and still got in. I don't think they meant someone that had a 6.0 a 2400 and 15 5's on AP Exams getting accepted into Harvard.</p>
<p>i like this topic o.o it makes me so hopeful. haha anyone else? i cant reply cause im only a junior :p</p>
<p>but for anyone who is familiar with ucla engineering school, is there ANY chance i could get admitted?</p>
<p>yaaah-layyy</p>
<p>girl i know UCLA 3.2 GPA (ONLY 4% of people with that GPA are accepted and i'm sure 99% of them are recruited athletes). she had about 1450 SAT (old one).</p>
<p>Emory - ED, many amny people told me it'd be a match but a few snobby students at my school seemed to regard it as a large reach for me. I was incredibly happy to walk into school rocking my Emory shirt and seeing the looks at their faces. MUWHAHA!</p>
<p>3.69 unweighted, 4.8 weighted
rank: 33/648
SAT Verbal - 670
Math - 680
LOVED My essays and spent loads of time on 'em...very unique ideas I believe
Many leadership positions in ECs, active in many Jewish organizations and attended Jewish summer programs for the past 8 summers, 400 volunteer hours</p>
<p>No, I didn't apply to a reach school.</p>

Congratulations!!!!
Were you originally waitlisted or deferred ED1? How did you find out you were in yesterday? I thought they wouldn't mail letters until Saturday.</p>
<p>Yes, I'm so excited I got accepted at Washu. I posted my stats before and a lot of people said it would be a reach
act: 32
sat IIs: math iic- 800, spanish- 610 (ouch)
Gpa: 4.0 unweighted
Extracurriculars: Student Council, tennis, piano, tons of community service
My counselor nominated me for a scholarship there, so that might have helped</p>
<p>Stanford SCEA</p>
<p>SAT- 2090 (750V/710M/630W)
ACT- 33 (34E/34M/34R/30S)
GPA - 95/100

<p>Reach because it's Stanford, simple as that.</p>

<p>Actually, I was accepted to Emory ED1 right away so I've known since December 22nd. I was actually searching for topics that contained the word "Emory" and came across this topic so decided to post yesterday. I looove reading anything and everything about the school.</p>
<p>And nope, letters aren't sent out till April 1st. :( And it really could take a week or more to recieve it. I live just one state over and it took a week...but then again, it might have been because of all the holiday mall. Gooood Luck! (I'm assuming your an applicant?)</p>
<p>JHU ED with 1950 SAT, 3.8ish weighted GPA, average ECs, mediocre recs (i.e. not all positive) and lame essays (I read them).</p>
<p>This isn't me, by the way.</p>

It's my daughter who is waiting to hear from Emory, and we also live in Florida (Tampa). She's on cc as Threekids'kid. She was at Emory for a summer debate camp, and fell in love. One of her closest friends was deferred ED1, with similar statistics, so we're keeping our fingers crossed for both of them! One more week and we should know.</p>
