I can't believe they got in stories!

<p>I have a friend who has like a 1400/2400 and a 85 average getting into baruch college for accounting, bs.</p>

<p>uh honors? if not well that's not too bs</p>

<p>I can't believe it's not butter!</p>

<p>Is this a joke? Cuny Baruch is mad easy to get into and a 1400 sat is well, well, well above their 75th percentile.</p>

<p>miktau, he clearly states that this person got 1400 out of 2400, which is, according to the College Board, below the 50% mark.</p>

<p>your right, my bad completely misread the post i thought he had a 1400/1600. Even still a 1400/2400 is not that far below average and well any of the cunys (with the exception of macauly honors college) are pretty easy to get into and I belive thats not far from their range.</p>

<p>My friend got into Cal with a 3.85 GPA and 1,800 SAT I.</p>

<p>She knows people who've gotten into UCLA with 3.5 GPAs and 1,500 SATs</p>

<p>According to Naviance...
someone from my school got into Columbia with 2.99 weighted and 1280/1600.
That was probably a few years ago though.</p>

<p>There was a guy last year with a 2.98 GPA who got Harvard
About 2-3 years ago, there was a guy who transferred into Stanford from a CC. His HS gpa was 1.8. Yep, he got 1 of the 20 spots with a 1.8 HS gpa</p>

<p>A friend of mine got into NYU. Not like she's dumb or anything, just didn't think she was NYU smart.</p>

<p>I know someone who got into MIT with a 1240/1600 on the SAT, not an URM, International too. He had no serious awards also.</p>

<p>I would love to believe you all, but I need to see to believe.</p>

<p>"About 2-3 years ago, there was a guy who transferred into Stanford from a CC. His HS gpa was 1.8. Yep, he got 1 of the 20 spots with a 1.8 HS gpa."</p>

<p>He had a nearly perfect score on the SAT. He was in the Marines for six years and had a 4.0 at his CCs honors program. </p>

<p>Be careful not to be too selective with facts.</p>
