<p>He (X) wrote elsewhere that he has a 32 ACT composite, a 2150 (ish) SAT. </p>

<p>700s + African-American= Yes</p>

22

<p>which one is it lol?</p>

23

<p>lol</p>

<p>my stats are are the low side, i agree. but i know i didn't get accepted because of that alone (and i'm still not talking about the URM status). </p>

<p>anyway, this is sad. :(((((((((((</p>

<p>oh, and yeah the 1850/27 was a lie lol but the likely letter wasn't and i swear it's sweet to know early loooooooool</p>

24

<p>soz guys what's a URM?</p>

25

<p>Under-represented minority, i.e. hispanics, blacks, or native americans. Asians are considered ORMs, or over-represented minorities, meaning that being one is sometimes viewed as a disadvantage.</p>

26

<p>^ very unfair that</p>

27

<p>oh right cheers
and yeah i (somehow) got me an international likely and i'm neither sportsman nor URM (unless Aussies are under-represented) :D</p>

28

<p>^ Congrats!!!!</p>

29

<p>aussies r hot</p>

<p>says quakeroats lolz</p>

31

<p>One friend got his 2 weeks ago, another got one last week. There are bound to be more though.</p>

32

<p>Anyone know when athletes tend to get their likely letters--November?</p>

33

<p>@ ajbwells : nice job on getting an international likely..congratulations</p>

34

<p>They are targeted towards hyper-qualified athletes, legacies, minorities, hooked applicants, and other students they know will be accepted to competitive schools and will need heavy influencing to persuade them to come.</p>

35

<p>absolutely right..congratulations to all who got likely letters..fantastic job</p>

36

<p>So I got rejected from MIT and waitlisted from Caltech, which pretty much convinced me that I wouldn't be getting into HPY, but then I got likely letters from Cornell (engineering) and Dartmouth, which got my hopes up. So do you think I have a below average/average/above average chance?</p>

37

<p>Btw, I'm Asian, in case that makes a difference.</p>

38

<p>ECFashionista....the reason for that, I'm assuming is that u were weaker than other candidates in the science and math department (which Cal and MIT care A TON about)</p>

<p>but congrats on the two other ivies!!! :)</p>

39

<p>Wait, so are any of these nonURMs or nonatheletes?</p>

<p>i concur with QuakerOats about most citizens of that nation. especially the accent:)</p>
