<p>awwww poor kid. haha. hopefully u both get in! :-D</p>
<p>I'll post when I get my Nov scores. Oh okay, for now I have a 1420. 720V 700M</p>
<p>So... I haven't sent my scores officially yet. I designated Princeton as recipient for the Nov test. Do they get it two weeks after I get it or do they get it instantly into this database I hear about?</p>
<p>Mahajan, do tell more about the 1-5 scale (if there is more to it, that is)</p>
<p>Yeah Zant and I are both trying to get in but I think she has a much better chance than I do :P Sometimes I feel like I have a reasonable chance, and other times I feel that I have none at all... the SAT I just took didn't go so well in my mind, but we'll just have to see</p>
<p>astrix, I believe they get your score the same time as you do, if not earlier, electronically.</p>
<p>About the 1-5 Ranking - it was the admissions process for Princeton when Fred Haragon was still the Admissions Dean. Things may have changed since then. From what I've heard about that system, 1 is the highest rank an applicant can be awarded. For academics, a 1 is about 4/5 SAT scores above 700, more than 20 solid courses (about 23-24), good grades (generally straight A's). For the extracurricular ranking, a 1 is for outstanding achievements: winning an Olympics medal, writing a book, patenting a product, breaking a Guiness World Record, etc. </p>
<p>Anyone know anything else about it?</p>
<p>above 700? crap. i got 690 v. but my sats 2s are all over that range tho.. crap....</p>
<p>She was estimating, I think, pw.</p>
<p>i hope she is. cuz i know for duke. when they say 1480. they dont mean 1470...</p>
<p>Actually Keb, I read it as an excerpt from a book by Paul: "Getting In..." He shadowed Fred Haragon for an entire reading process then wrote a book about admission to elite colleges. I don't actually own the book, though, so this is only what I remember from an excerpt I read.</p>
<p>that case, there will be lost of ones. since around 60 - 70% of ppl have 700+ testings.</p>
<p>yah, 60- 70% of the people on CC, that is. I doubt the numbers are that high in the real world.</p>
<p>that makes me feel a lot better about this..so we're not just a random sampling of applicants, then....yay for us! how about that 60% acceptance? That's better than some public state u's, haha.</p>
<p>no definitely not. we are only like 50 outta 1000 or so early applications that they will receive...:-D</p>
<p>yeah well it beats being 50 out of the 18,000 they'll receive in January</p>
<p>exactly! man, I hope I don't get thrown into the RD pool. That's the brutal one...</p>

<p>Yes, standardized tests are one of my stronger areas.</p>
<p>Wow..? . . . . . . . .</p>
<p>slothrop, that is altogether not too impressive (in the sense that it can be done). Three people at my school have the exact same scores you do--and will probably be at Princeton or Cal Tech in the following year.</p>
<p>My only question is why didn't you stop after three SAT2s?</p>
<p>oh sick, slothrop, just when we were beginning to feel okay about our chances... ;)</p>
