<p>with well enough money, you can be a loser. it is not worthwhile if you get in without DESERVING IT !!!</p>
<p>What is a URM?</p>
<p>i dont exactly know what the letters stand for but URM refers to applicnts of minority
status- such as hispanics, native americans, and african americans</p>
<p>you are all a bunch a pessimists....</p>
<p>URM= Under Represented Minority</p>
<p>i am a politician fighting for the good of America</p>
<p>In terms of academic scores such as GPA/SAT I don't think anyone is a perfect match, even with a 1600/4.0GPA some people get rejected, however, there are people out there who are academic matches, ie: Doing extremely well in the USAMO/other academic competitions.</p>
<p>All the ivies look for people , not numbers, though your stats do play an important role</p>
<p>"Yes, that is true, but you dont have to be a rocket scientist to know that the President is an idiot!"</p>
<p>How in the world could you make such an ignorant comment. Obviously over half of the country voted for Bush. So do you think the majority of America is idiotic?</p>
<p>history has proven that there are more Republican voter turnouts than there of Democratic voter turnouts. i bet that if every single American voted, then Kerry would have beated Bush by a HUGE margin. Well, there's no use crying over spilt milk.</p>
<p>And yes, The truth hurts. America isnt developing, it is getting harmed under Bush.</p>
<p>As much as I agree with you, theres no point in making this a political debate.</p>
<p>I think these schools are matches for you if you are at the international level in some activity (IMO comes to mind.)</p>
<p>if u have the best recommendation letters, consider yourself in (provided that u also have pretty good stats)</p>
<p>a Rickoid would be an excellent match</p>
<p>yea you're definitely a match for these schools if your parents are willing to donate an international airport</p>
<p>people fail to realize that most of the 1600s that get rejected are those that have nothing else. a good number of students that score a 1600 are really bright kids but lazy as hell and didnt work in school, but since they got a 1600 (even with there 2.5 UW GPA and 0 ECs) they think they have a chance.</p>
<p>Out of the 1600s that apply to:</p>
<p>Duke - 100% get accepted
Stanford - 66
Harvard 53
Princeton -national low of 36%</p>
<p>callthecops. Where did you get that info?</p>
<p>from another thread.</p>
<p>anyone who goes to exeter or andover (bush went there, as did his father) has a shot at harvard, and, by the way, the sat have nothing to do with how smart you are, it's how hard you study. i know a girl who's iq is around 100, and she got a 1470 on the sat.</p>
<p>eh, i know tons and tons of people in my current school, old school, and various schools around my area that score 1400+ without studying, i don't think its how hard you study, it really is your reasoning and the quickness/sharpness of your reasoning...anywayz in terms of the original question asked, there are def. ppl who are matches for hyps etc, the examples given in this thread match mostly what i would say, esp the person who gave a perfect applicant characteristic, honestly there are many people that do have those characterstics..</p>
