<p>What are the lowest scores for:</p>

<p>SAT, ACT, GPA, Rank</p>

<p>That got accepted to Yale?</p>

<p>assassin,</p>

<p>its all relative. someone from exeter won't have to have as high a GPA or class rank as someone from john q. public high school to get in.</p>

<p>I think GW Bush had a 1260, Gore an 11something</p>

<p>Remember, the SAT has been recentered twice since GWB, Gore, Clinton, Kerry, etc. were admitted, so a 1260 from the 1960s is higher than a 1260 (excluding the writing section) is in 2006.</p>

<p>jags861 is right, it's all relative. Knowing the lowest SAT or GPA does you no good unless you fit the same profile as the person who got in with those scores.</p>

<p>Confidential college transcripts and test scores obtained by the Washington Post reveal that neither presidential candidate, George W. Bush nor Al Gore, were shining students during their college days at Yale and Harvard, respectively. Although each earned respectable scores on the SAT college admissions test (a total of 1355 of 1600 for Gore and 1206 for Bush), neither did that well in their college courses. Both earned a mix of B and C grades. Gore's lowest grade of D came in a natural sciences course, while his top grades were an A in French and English, an A in Visual and Environmental Studies, and an A- in Social Relations. Bush's lowest marks were a 70 (of 100) in Sociology and a 71 in Economics, while his highest scores were High Passes in History and Japanese.</p>
