<p>Propapanda!</p>
<p>I have a 1970! (580 CR and 630 W!) I’m still applying to Stanford (with no aid! :P)!</p>
<p>Don’t refer the median/average scores! Remember: for every kid with a 2400 who gets accepted, there is a kid with a 2000 who gets accepted too! :)</p>
<p>I honestly doubt for EVERY kid, but hey, we can only hope. :)</p>
<p>Haha, oops! “each” kid! 
My CR/W/TOEFL score shows how bad I’m at English.</p>
<p>I hope “each” is correct. :|</p>
<p>Lol nooooooo I wasn’t correcting your English, I meant that I doubt that for every 2400-er they accept a 2000-er. They probably accept a lot more 2400-ers.</p>
<p>I’m a pessimist, clearly. But I just don’t want to get all hopeful and attached. I’m attached enough to Amherst. :(</p>
<p>Good luck with your app man! Your math score won’t matter unless you have an engineering major. I’m sure that your major isn’t engineering since you’re applying to Amherst. You haven’t applied to HYP?</p>
<p>Your 800s can take you to Harvard too! :)</p>
<p>I have, I wanted to apply to all need blind schools.</p>
<p>Nah, my major’s gonna be english/history/philosophy/russian lit. Not sure which one yet. :P</p>
<p>Good luck to you too! Are you into engineering then?</p>
<p>Yea. CS/CompE is my preferred major. I’m working hard to get all those SCJP,OCA etc. certificates (as Suril did!)</p>
<p>Hey Quasi, can you tell me which book(s) you preferred (except CB ones) for CR and W? :)</p>
<p>Good luck with those certificates!</p>
<p>Um…I just used the Blue Book. I read a lot normally, so I guess I was just familiar with it…like you were for math, probably.</p>
<p>Gosh, propapanda, you’re indian?</p>
<p>I applied to Stanford SCEA, got deferred.</p>
<p>Prop’s not Indian, he likes ■■■■■■■■ and stalking.</p>
<p>@smiit- I love Amherst, and my major is physics. Don’t be so prejudiced about LACs
And I applied to stanord to. But I need aid and my supplement was conpleted in 25 mins and subbmitted over 3 hours late
So NO chance. I don’t particularly love stanford. I applied just coz of a faculty member that I know and he’s pretty awesome :P</p>
<p>i applied to stanford RD… but i basically thing SAT scores are useless in determining admissions to unis like stanford,MIT,etc. 
its all on the supplements,essays,recommendations…
(btw i got 2290 on SAT reasoning and 2400 in SAT subject(physics,chem,math2))</p>
<p>@gary7:</p>
<p>No man! I am NOT prejudiced towards LACs! In fact, LACs are very tough to get into! Have you applied to Bard College? One of my friends (Class of 2013) told me that its an awesome LAC! :)</p>
<p>But I’m inclined more towards engineering (specifically CS/CompE)</p>
<p>Admission to HYPSM is crapshoot. And you might have an advantage (a significant one) if the faculty member whom you’re familiar with knows the adcoms!</p>
<p>25 minutes!? Wow! That’s quick! It took me 42 days to write essays for Stanford (Haha, I’m weak at English, and I’m lazy too! :P)</p>
<p>@AkshayM:</p>
<p>Dude, your scores are awesome! (I wish I get a 2300 like you when I appear for SAT for the 2nd time! :P)</p>
<p>Are you applying for aid? :)</p>
<p>hmm no i didnt apply for aid because i thought my credentials arent enough and the aid pool is damn competitive really for stanford…grades and scores are secondary to your dedication and essays and all</p>
<p>Haha, actually that is the reason why I spent just 20 days preparing for the SAT (as well as the TOEFL) and 40+ days for my essays! :)</p>
<p>PS: I haven’t applied for aid. :)</p>
<p>@smit: I’m applying to Bard but haven’t applied to Stanford. For some strange reason I just couldn’t bring myself to like Stanford.</p>
<p>ccp, you’re such a non-conformist :P</p>
<p>Wow! tetrisfan Brown '14! :)</p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>2400 SAT/ 2400 SAT Subject Tests? with a 4.0 UW GPA? and stellar essays?</p>
