<p>well a 1590 is worse than u, and 3.99999 is worse than ur 4.0, so id like to know if they were + or - 1350, or if they had a + or - 4.4 W GPA...u know i wanna compare how i fare against them. just to know what type of competition i was in for...</p>

2 from mine, including me :D And the other guy is SUPER! But congrats SP, he has SAT 1290 :p But I think he will get in (at caltech if no other place). He has 4 unis in common with me.</p>
<p>ok to clarify then
academic stats substantially worse than mine.</p>
<p>SATs in the 1400s, not so good SAT 2s and very nearly fail grades in some courses in <em>yikes!</em> junior year ...<em>rubs hands in glee</em></p>
<p>My Yale folder is complete! Yayyy! The people on the phone seemed really nice :)</p>
<p>Fail??? wow. that really boost my confidence!</p>
<p>Yale adcom office is just being sarcastic...they've already rejected u sucha - they just want to pretend as if the process is still going on. I can bet that there's a big red stamp saying "REJECTED - Sucharita Ray" on the cover. :p Mwahahaha!</p>
<p>Merc...1290 man that's another confidence booster. but what makes that guy so darn special?</p>
<p>there are 6 from mine...all with higher SATs but with GPA's down the toilet and with the second semester going the way it is...probably far down the sewer now...5 koreans and 1 indian :) only foreigner in the whole of korea applying to princeton this year!</p>

See how you question him? If instead of 1290 he had 1590 for instance, you wouldn't have asked that question.</p>
<p>Anyway, this guy is an intellectual theoretical physicist who is mentally 5 years elder than most of us. He is slated to get in, solely for his academic strength rather than ECs which he doesn't have a lot of.</p>
<p>I'm not questioning him. But the SAT is SOMETHING. it isnt worthless. Adcoms do care about it. he might be mentally 5 years older, but my point is that he must have something concrete to back him up - ie. research, published work, etc. etc. u know what I mean...</p>
<p>yayy! Princeton file is complete too :)</p>
<p>Oh SP did I mention that I had an ointerview and the other two didnt? Muahahahaha :D</p>
<p>You got me wrong. :p I'm trying to say how the SAT is the first impression an adcom gets of you.</p>
<p>He does not have published work or research or something like that because HE LIVES IN INDIA! And that too in Patna. Does any Indian applicant ever have any research at all? I might be wrong, but I've never heard of it before...... but now we're digressing.</p>
<p>well they just wanted to have a bit of entertainment - how a 1600 has a bloated confidence about getting in :p and itl be so funny to see the other 2 get in and u rejected...id laugh all day! ;)</p>
<p>now PLEASE vote me as the meanest on the board!!!</p>
<p>Sucharita, congrats :mad:</p>
