<p>Good way to calm us senior's nerves..</p>

<p>A friend of mine got accepted to Cornell’s Hospitality School ED.</p>

<p>He had a 1980 SAT, 3.48 GPA, and a rank of 48/360ish</p>

<p>Was that person hooked or something?</p>

<p>What about people who are were “average” applicants?</p>

<p>Asian male- stanford, 1880 SAT
White female - princeton, 1750 SAT</p>

<p>Yeah my friend is technically 1/8th Native American so I guess that’s a pretty solid hook.</p>

<p>How did those two get into Princeton and Stanford?</p>

<p>Me! I had a 2050 SAT, pretty average grades and a less than stellar essay but I still got into NYU’s business school - which believe me, being an indian, isn’t easy!</p>
