<p>I was wondering, does anyone know what portion of the Stanford EA pool is made of kids with 1500+ SATs (or even students who are near the tops of their classes)?</p>
<p>This could help me feel better. But most likely not. I know it doesn't matter (1600s get rejected, 1300s get in), but it would be an interesting stat.</p>
<p>hmmm, if we use CC, it'd be around 80%. However, i think it's more like 50%. But that's just a wild guess.</p>
<p>look at yahoo's education page</p>
<p>What part?</p>
<p>its more like 50% have 1400+</p>
<p>^ wait.... so you mean half of the applicants have SAT scores LOWER than 1400??? hmm then CC's pool is light-years more competitive than the total applicant pool</p>
<p>Yeah -- I had figured that from the beginning. The EA pool here is <em>way</em> more competitive than the actual pool. It makes sense if you think about it, a site like this naturally attracts that kind of student, I think. It will be interesting to see the final acceptance rate from CC members versus the total pool. </p>

<p>What do you think the CC rate was last year?</p>
<p>I dunno. I was actually trying to find the old Stanford threads from last year around the time that decision letters came out, but couldn't find them. Maybe someone else can take a look.</p>

<p>Ha ha! Sadly, I've done the same. I need to find better ways to use my free time.</p>
<p>i couldnt fidn them either... it looked like a chunck was missing from the archieves.</p>
<p>Well, the Stanford website says about 50% of applicants have 1400+. Now all we need to figure out is whether more or less than half of those have 1500+ and whether the EA pool is stronger.</p>
