<p>I agree with those who say it's not a real experiment. It proves little, if anything. 5 years ago admissions were a whole lot easier than they are now. For instance, according to a book (was it A for Admission?), Princeton accepted over 90% of all EDers with a 1600/1600. While we don't know what the exact statistics are today, a good estimate would be 60-70%. Also, the author might have biased his stats to make them look worse than they really are. I do agree with a few basic points though. If you have over a 2000 SAT, they will look at your app, however for you to stand a substantial chance, you would want over 2200 at least.</p>
<p>Also, next time, keep the thread going for a little longer. I would have loved to hear what others would have said about your chances.</p>
