<p>What is the SAT cutoff for Princeton and other IVY schools? Can someone suggest a number?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>They say they don't have a cut-off but everyone knows this is not true.</p>
<p>its not a number, I would guess its a complicated ratio, between your SAT I SATII's and your GPA, which is also probably first revamped to make it minus freshman year, minus bs classes. When they add up your final numbers, and yours is too small thats when they reject you, but I doubt many people are ousted then, I'm sure its only for those wanna be's that are like "I have a 65GPA and a 1100 new sat, but its worth a try."</p>
<p>Probably true; however, the highest GPA possible + average SAT scores might not make the cut-off. Too many applicants with GREAT everythings! I'm not one of them.</p>
<p>There is no hard cutoff but there is a correlation between SATs scores and percentage admitted. Evan at 1500+, the majority of students who apply to Princeton will be rejected. Below 1300+ your chances become less than one in a hundred, and those few who are accepted will have exceptional talents in some other area.</p>
<p>w.e if you want to apply then apply. i dont see the point of these threads, it's all speculation anyway. if you want to go to princeton then apply, if your too scared to be rejected, then dont.</p>
<p>Yeh, my philosophy is that if I apply (which I did) my chances will still be greater than if I didn't. Alot of people are going to be rejected, but that si just the way it goes.</p>
<p>so is 1300 and above a resaonable cut off or is it highr?</p>
<p>I'd say 1300 is a reasonable cutoff...</p>
<p>If you looked at their CDS, their median SATs middle 50% was 1370-1570 (or something very close to that), which means that 25% of the class still had scores below 1370.</p>
<p>Then again, a lot of those scores below 1370 could have been VIPs, developmental cases, athletes, etc.</p>
<p>Darn those people whose parents can push them into a college with 10 million!!!</p>
<p>I know of someone who got into Pton with a 1200, so 1300 cannot be the cutoff if there even is one. He was an recruited athlete so go figure... If onyl I had the desire to play sports in college... I would hate to be recruited to play a sport. I'm the ultimate amateur.</p>
<p>Probably like a 1500...</p>
<p>I mean c'mon...no one's getting in with lower than a 1500...(you must be stupid if you can't reach that, BTW)</p>
<p>Opps...I meant to go in to the Princeton forum, looks like I got into the HARVARD forum by accident.</p>
<p>wait worldshopper was that a joke? i seriously dont get what you meant. </p>
<p>anyways, i guess there is no cut off, but you still want to get a good score if you want to get in.</p>
<p>si, joke, the comment above was a harvardish comment.</p>
<p>sr6622, that was a meaningless comment. If Princeton was a school that just looked at someone's scores and rejected them because they were lower than 1500, well then I dont think it would be such a great school. It would be full of people like you who base their existence on meaningless test scores and boost their ego (probably because they are need of it) by making others feel bad about a their sub1500 SAT's. I hope your satisfied with your elitism and 1500 or above SAT.</p>
<p>sr622 i imagine you are a perfect 1600...because I am 1450, so i guess i'm stupid to your standards. However the mid 50% if broken down is about 1450, if you looked at last year's official ED decision thread, a student, he was an alum child, got in with 1300, but I saw a few others in mid to high 1400s, i would say 1370 is a cut off for average student without hooks like athletics/alum family</p>
<p>I would say its more like 1400...although i'm less than that :(</p>
<p>I'd say 1200 is the arbitrary point. I've seen many get in with that.</p>
<p>If Princeton truly believes that type of applicant (high SAT scores with an elitist attitude) has great things to offer their campus -- I will be forever thankful to get rejected.</p>
<p>I've heard that some people got in with 1180.</p>
