The "I got in without a 2300" club (uber UBER-exclusive!)

Test Preparation
1

<p>So we managed to get into GREAT (I mean, really AWESOME) schools without the geeky, "I got a 2340 with no prep, but am retaking it so my results are pending" attitude. JK to all you who really did get a 2300+, congrats, and have fun debating the Nat'l Merit Awards. For the rest of us, post your acceptances below, and your SAT range (one sitting, to be on the safe side). Give hope to all normal people! </p>

<p>Level 1: 1500-1750
Level 2: 1751-1900
Level 3: 1901-2100
Level 4: 2101-2299</p>

<p>*ACT results may be used as well</p>

<p>Thank you :-) Stanford is indeed my number one choice and I got in SCEA; the only reason I applied to the UCs is because the deadline was 15 days before I found out whether or not I got in.</p>

<p>ps, know this is a stupid question, but what does SECA stand for? is it like early decision?</p>

<p>Well, I havn't taken the SAT yet, I've registered for the January test. I am definitely not going to get 2300 but I will probably make level 4.</p>
