<p>Retro, my family is… I don’t even know. People in my immediate family (parents, aunts/uncles) have gone to Harvard x3 & one is on faculty, Stanford x2, Brown and UCLA. Also I have this one uncle who everyone calls the “eff-up” who went to northeastern. </p>
<p>No pressure mate.</p>
<p>I always lie about my stats in real life. ;D</p>
<p>Like my g.p.a is 4.5+ and my SAT is well above 2000, but if anyone asks me I say like 3.4 and 1700. Its fun because everyone will be so confused when college decisions come out ;D haha</p>
<p>^ i should have done that…would have made things so much more fun senior year XD</p>
<p>I just say, “I did fairly well”. I didn’t even tell my family what I got until recently. I don’t know why knowing how others did on the SAT is such a big deal. I don’t tell people my score because I can. :)</p>
<p>As far as I’m concerned, by letting people know your score, everyone who did better than you is going to feel good about themselves at your expense and everyone who did worse is going to think you’re an a-hole.</p>
<p>So really, it’s a lose-lose situation. I usually just shrug my shoulders.</p>
<p>Right bioguy. And next year we’ll have a peter telling us how holistic Harvard is because he knows someone who got in with a 3.4/1700!</p>
<p>First answer: “I did pretty well,” depending on how well I know the person and how they’re likely to react.</p>
<p>If they ask again, I just go ahead and tell them. No point in hiding under a paper bag, after all.</p>
<p>It’s not really that important, to my mind. Maybe they’ll make a comment or something, and then we go on to talk about whatever else.</p>
<p>When’s the last time anyone’s gotten into an altercation over test scores? Sounds a little ridiculous, to me.</p>
<p>I just tell them outright. I’ve found that people generally don’t react well to “Oh, well enough” or even “I’d rather not say.” I’m not really worried about people’s feelings being hurt because, hey, they asked. I’m not shoving scores and grades down anyone’s throat.</p>
