[ b]General Comments: Id like to just use my acceptance to show thosewho have scores on the lower end (low 2000s) that it IS possible to get into an Ivy League school without ridiculously high scores. I got horrible grades on my SAT IIs. I just want to say that if you work hard and put your mind to doing well, the weight of good scores will diminish. [ /b]</p>

The "Congratulations" XD I didn't even get a likely letter, so I was pretty certain that I hadn't made it.
