My friend got into johns hopkins with a 1080 SAT/19 ACT

Applying to College
1

<p>I didn't know that it was possible but apparently it is. Salutatorian, White/not a urm, not an athelete, no legacy. Majoring in being a spanish teacher.</p>

<p>I'm very surprised.</p>

2

<p>WHOA. is that legit?</p>

3

<p>your friend slept with the admission officer…99.9% sure.</p>

4

<p>Yeah I was completely shocked. She applied just for hahas because she knew she wouldn’t have the Test scores to get in and totally got in. She’s not even going to end up going there which sucks because of money. Not even a top ranked high school in Connecticut.</p>

5

<p>^ W.T.F. This annoys me because I was waitlisted at JHU, with better scores. I feel hard pressed to believe this. Maybe your friend was lying?</p>

<p>edit: and I applied as a history major. ■■■. lol</p>

6

<p>I’ve heard of ppl who are not the traditional science, engineering majors, getting into jhu with lower scores, and with money too!</p>

7

<p>The salutatorian only has a 1080? That’s pretty sad…</p>

8

<p>Yeah, our valedictorian only had a 1280/30.</p>

9

<p>There is no way this girl is lying either, because i saw the acceptance letter! Crazy, almost impossible to believe. I was bewildered.</p>

10

<p>is that even possible ? some people dont get accepeted with much higher schools, what was the reason that she actually got accepeted ?
I have no idea what universities are looking for.</p>

11

<p>i mean higher grades*</p>

12

<p>I didn’t think it was possible either, but she is in my homeroom and showed me today. </p>

<p>breaking news our valedictorian got into BC, Trinity, Wake Forest.</p>

<p>Rejected by Georgetown and Vandy.</p>

13

<p>Yeah its strange when there were many applicants with high test scores.</p>

14

<p>There must be something that you don’t know about.</p>

15

<p>I’ve known her since i was really little, and her mom and my mom have been good friends forever. I honestly believe she just got lucky.</p>

16

<p>19 ACT?</p>

<p>Salutatorian? sure, in a class of 2 students.</p>

17

<p>^Since the OP isn’t the valedictorian, what does that then make him?</p>

18

<p>Our class is 400 kids. Some people just aren’t good test takers</p>

19

<p>congratulations to your friend. too bad she’s not going though.</p>

20

<p>Yeah… Even if money wasn’t an issue it wouldn’t make sense to go if she ultimately wants to be a Spanish teacher.</p>
