<p>You aren’t getting in, but you can still get on the Call of Duty: blackops leaderboards if you start playing more though. People are only about 5-6 prestiges in if i’m not mistaken.</p>
<p>Ru ■■■■■■■■?</p>
<p>In conclusion,</p>
<p>*chess is not a sport – even if you’re black
*1840 is too low for an ivy, and so is 2000</p>
<p>*IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS AREN’T THE ONLY GOOD SCHOOLS! However, you’re under qualified. You should’ve thought about this a year ago. </p>
<p>You can repeat senior year, but that won’t help in admissions. Oh well</p>
<p>I think you need a double dose of reality, and I sincerely doubt that collegeboard made a mistake grading your test</p>
<p>The only Ivy I can see accepting you (going by scores alone) would be Cornell, and that’s a serious stretch. SATs aren’t everything. What are your ECs like? HS GPA?</p>
<p>Also, you could always take the SAT in the future and transfer…</p>
<p>@NspiredOne: This is 100% true. There’s a kid scored 1300 in SAT, with GPA 3.6 and got accepted to Harvard with SCHOLARSHIP. Just because you have never heard about this doesn’t mean it’s not true.</p>
<p>Go to this page: [Harvard</a> University in Cambridge, Massachusetts](<a href=“College Search Database: Find Your College Match | Cappex”>College Search Database: Find Your College Match | Cappex), scroll down to the section “Who’s getting in”, and see for yourself. There’s even somebody with 990 on SAT and got accepted. And there’s another person with 1710 SAT and still got accepted.</p>
<p>@futuresuccess: Yes, I have proof =)
Here’s the infor about the guy: [Tyler</a> Caveness - Yahoo! Sports](<a href=“http://rivals.yahoo.com/northcarolina/football/recruiting/player-Tyler-Caveness-85722;_ylt=AidVRuioYkcleV1qFiHPcaAKtJB4]Tyler”>http://rivals.yahoo.com/northcarolina/football/recruiting/player-Tyler-Caveness-85722;_ylt=AidVRuioYkcleV1qFiHPcaAKtJB4)</p>
<p>Here’s the news article about him receiving scholarship from Harvard: [North</a> Cross RB to play for Harvard](<a href=“http://www.roanoke.com/sports/highschool/wb/224588]North”>http://www.roanoke.com/sports/highschool/wb/224588)</p>
<p>So my best advise is don’t give up on your Ivy dreams. It’s still possible. I’d advise you to retake SAT one more time. The most important thing here is (since your SAT score is not very satisfying) you should focus on your social activities (very crucial) along with boosting your GPA up.
Please rmb that SAT score is not everything, only God knows how Ivy Leagues choose the applicants. If you look at the graph, there are tons of people with SAT score in 2300s and even 2400, and still got rejected.</p>
<p>So good luck =)</p>
<p>@avidstudent: while cornell’s sat scores may be lower, cornell requires you to send all scores. i think they do superscore though.</p>
<p>@OP: it can’t hurt to try =]</p>
<p>Hmm, I’d also advice you to give it another try if you have got other strengths included in your application, e.g. a very high GPA, strong extracurricular activities etc.</p>
<p>I think many people on CC are kinda obsessed with the SATs… but when you follow the Admission-Threads of the different Ivy League-schools, it gets clear that even students with top scores are rejected. Of course, the majority of acceptees scores in a very high range but I’m convinced that all these students have got a certain characteristic in their application that sets them apart.</p>
<p>I mean, honestly, what is the SAT? What does it tell about your academical aptitude? It’s a test, for which some students practice YEARS and solve 238434 practice tests and then score in a 2200-2400 score range. Does this make them more applicable to an Ivy league university than a person with 1900 or 2000? The only thing that’s for sure is that these students are masochistic enough to work their… off to achieve high scores on the SAT 
(don’t want to offend anyone and for sure there are people who score very high without much practice but I want to put my point clearly)
But, in the end, that tells the admission officers nothing about the real aptitude of a student for college work, nothing about how the student approaches a problem, how he writes a thesis etc. pp.</p>
<p>If you are convinced that you have what it takes to be a student of an Ivy league school, then try it again, score maybe a little higher and work the other parts of your application.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>yeah but blackbunny those are anomalies!!! you can’t say that general trend will apply to our friend here. That is probably the .0000000000000000000000000000000001 percent with scores less than 1800 that got in.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that first link is full of ■■■■■■… it’s not affiliated with Harvard at all and I wouldn’t trust it. It seems like anyone could make an account and say whatever they want.</p>
<p>For Tyler Caveness, I’m guessing the 1300 on the SAT is math plus critical reading, so it’s 1300/1600, which is about 1950/2400 on the full SAT, which is higher than 1840.Also, if you read the article, you’ll see he did not get a scholarship.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A Sudanese refugee with 1840 might have a decent shot, provided he/she has had enough schooling in stuff like English, math, science, history, etc.</p>
<p>I have an interview with columbia how good of a sign is that?</p>
<p>yeah agreed with 314, it’d be extremely impressive for a refugee to learn so much and be so skilled in such a short time.</p>
<p>Everyone tends to do better on practice SATs as they aren’t as stressful. </p>
<p>If I were you, I would accept the fact that you didn’t do so hot on your December SAT and make sure you have applied to some back-up colleges that you can for sure get into.</p>
<p>^^In terms of the interview with Columbia, can’t basically anyone get one of those? Plus, I don’t believe an interview will significantly affect your chance at getting admitted, unless the interviewer falls in love with you. </p>
<p>Anyways, best of luck.</p>
<p>I have an interview with columbia. Is that a good sign?</p>
<p>Interviews don’t mean much, it’s just for PR, sorry.</p>
<p>Thank God i have fee waivers</p>
<p>How about i take da act and get a 30 and only send that score?</p>
<p>What grade are you in, junior?</p>
<p>I’m a senior</p>
