schools that will look at your SAT score, laugh and throw your app in the trash

My best friend, who’s an URM, got below an 1800 on the SATs, but still got into Hopkins as a pre-med Physics (or it might be Astrophysics) major. 800 on the math section and a high 700 on the SAT II math section. Plus, he got 4s and 5s in AP Chem, Biology, Stats, Calculus, etc…Sure, his SATs were low, but obviously, the admissions committee realized that while he might not be strong in the humanities, he can easily handle the more technical courses. It just goes to show that the SAT scores need to be used in some sort of context because I very highly doubt he would’ve gotten in as say an English major.

Does that mean he scored below 500 on both CR and W? That’s brutally low.</p>
