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

<p>Level 4 (My 800 writing GREATLY inflates that though, 1310 without)</p>

<p>Georgetown School of Foreign Service (and they don't even look at writing!)</p>

<p>I did a 32 on the ACT, though. The SAT is not all it's cracked up to be.</p>

<p>aky: thanks for clarifying :)</p>

<p>tlesc: congrats!!! GU is an amazing school, I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time there!</p>

<p>hey guys since when was 2100-2290 considered a low score. It is above the 90th percentile. I think the last level should be level 3 or at max a 2200. I cant see many people getting into great colleges with level 3's. this actually would be depressing many people. I mean you guys are like " hey I got into yale with ONLY a 2260". WOW</p>

<p>That's why you post the level: so you can take it for what its worth. If you think a 2230 is a very high score, just look at the ones below it. Self-select the ones you want to look at, there are tons of people who have posted with scores below 2200.</p>

<p>Level 4 - 2130! Into Tufts ED!</p>

<p>awesome Big!!! Tufts has an extraordinary reputation.</p>

<p>moizuhk: case in point ^^^ ;)</p>

<p>Lol its still level 4. but anyway, i get your point</p>

<p>Level 2 (670/560/660)</p>

<p>ED: Chicago, and doing great there. 3.7 GPA and in the <1% of incoming freshmen to be invited into Honors Analysis. SAT == BS.</p>

<p>moizuhk: It's a 2130. If you want miracle admits where people are getting into HYPS with less than a 2000, I encourage you to start your own thread.</p>

<p>phuriku: Congratulations! UC is an excellent institution, and I'm glad you're having a great time there.</p>

<p>vc08 take it easy. I was just joking, thats why the "lol".</p>

<p>no offense given, no offense taken :)</p>

<p>I just have a question for ya'll! Is class rank more important than standardized test scores? Let's say, you are #1 out of 360 students at your school, and you get a 2200-2300. How far along does that put you in the admissions process? Sorry if this does not exactly pertain to this 'post' but I just joined today! Thank you!</p>

<p>That would put you in serious running for Harvard.</p>

<p>Yea, both being #1 and a 2300 on the sat are very good, good enough that you can consider ivy's.</p>

<p>in Dartmouth ED w/ a low level 3</p>

<p>awesome destined! that's a great school!</p>

<p>Level 3: Stanford Acceptance. UC Davis, UCSB Automatic Acceptance
booyah. But I really have just got to be really grateful for getting in.
Pending: UCLA, Cal</p>

<p>curious to know if there were other factors that you think got you in? like minority, started your own business, first to go to college, etc.</p>

<p>If any of you would give that info, I would be very interested. have one more to go thru this process and would like to know what factors might have pushed to over to the acceptance side?</p>

<p>2007: believe mercruz was minority and first to attend college (from Stanford thread).</p>

<p>As for myself, I'm your basic white, middle-class kid, my parents are college grads, but of Cal-state schools (not UC or anything). My brother is an English/Poli Sci major at Berkeley, and I had him read over my essays. It was totally worth it. He gave me some great advice, and even told me to start over on one-but it turned out much better after I re-wrote it. So if there is a teacher, college student, etc. that can read over the essays, I highly suggest it. I also attended 2 leadership conferences, and led teams/caucuses through them, which makes great substance for an essay. I think my leadership (capt. of various teams at high levels) and essays really did it for me. Good luck!</p>

<p>Wow vc you have a pretty nice brother mine just beats me up.</p>
