<p>Didn't show enough personality/passion/potential, probably.</p>

72

<p>That happens at MIT all the time. High scores don't always equal the creativity they want.</p>

73

<p>2280 stanford</p>

74

<p>2260 => Yale</p>

75

<p>1870- Duke, not 100 percent sure, but I'm pretty sure that is what the person scored</p>

76

<p>one from my school--- harvard with 1190/1600...no joke (uber connections tho...)</p>

77

<p>would you folks also mind saying what your cr reading/math scores were separate from the full SAT score? for eg, my s got a 2290/2400, but his highest score was in the writing subtest (a TOTAL surprise to us!!). His Cr reading/math score is a 1510/1600. Thanks!</p>

<p>800v, 720 m, 700 w into princeton</p>

79

<p>my bro got 770 in Verbal and 800 in Math (on old SAT), for a total of 1590/1600. He got deferred from Harvard, MIT, and Stanford. (prolly because at the time we were still internationals--we had just come to U.S.)</p>

<p>cookie-
Which of your #'s is wrong? Did he get a 790 on Vbl or a 1570/1600? Your #s don't add up.</p>
