What is the minimum SAT/ACT scores according to your opinion required for Ivy League, Stanford. Caltech, etc. ?

2

2150 is a minimum I believe. You have to be above 700 on each section for the “easier” Ivies like Dartmouth, Brown and Cornell and UPenn to an extent if you have a brilliant GPA.
And it goes higher for some non Ivies like Caltech. I’d say 2250 for those and HYPS and 1450 for UChicago on a 1500 scale.

OP, on this thread and your other one, you are solely focused on scores/GPA. You have not mentioned anything else you can bring to the table. What sets you off from every other Indian applicant?

2100, but 2300+ is optimal

No such thing as minimum. People get into Ivys with less than 2000. Getting a higher score strengthens your chances, but the process is so holistic that your SAT score is not the deciding factor.

Tushar: in one of your other threads, I already reformated your EC list to have it highlight what’s important. Please use it (or a version of it), and develop the points I mentioned. Right now, with the way you present your ECs, you’d have zero chance at any of the schools you listed.

@MYOS1634‌ Thanks, but I can’t seem to find the reformatted one.
