A friend got into Florida Institute of Technology on a $12000 scholarship.</p>

322

<p>^Hm, three of my friends got in too with the same amount of scholarship.</p>

323

<p>I know I’m not Pakistani, but i’m international. We got to stick together. :D</p>

<p>I got a 15k scholarship to florida tech, One of my friend got a 12500 and 3 others got 12000. They are very generous with merit aid ey!! :D</p>

324

<p>Well, my basic stats were like:
SAT 2180 (770M,720CR,690W)
SAT II ( Math 2,Physics 800, Math 1 770)
11As in O Level
4A in AS Level ( All above 90, 100 in Math)
School grades were mostly As, some occasional Bs in Urdu, English and History.
Essays were okay i guess, adapted my commonapp essay for the USC essay( It’s not on the Commonapp) 2 short ones were ok
Few extracurriculars, some voluntary work, part of a couple of societies in school.
Mostly school level awards.</p>

<p>congrats everyone! :slight_smile: great job!!</p>

<p>hi kimathi, that’s great, congratulations! and yes, EVERYONE is welcome here :)</p>

<p>how about we compile a ranking to kill time? best individual SAT scores, from what you have heard and seen, by school :wink: this should be the indisputable ranking of all high schools in pakistan :)</p>

<p>I’ll go first:</p>

<p>St. Pats - 2240 (heard)
Lyceum - 2270 (heard)
Nixor - 2190 (seen/heard)</p>

328

<p>Holla guyz!
Not been here for a long time … been very busy!</p>

<p>So lets do that list thingy pakipower:</p>

<p>Roots - 2300 - heard
Roots - 2270 - heard
Lyceum - 2270 - heard
St. Pats - 2240 - heard
Roots - 2200 - heard
Saint Mary’s - 2190 - seen
Nixor - 2190 - seen/heard
Saint Mary’s - 2150 - seen</p>

329

<p>hey I am from Saint Mary’s and noone got over 2100 in SAT 1 this year…</p>

330

<p>[color:red]Updated Rankings[/color:red]</p>

<p>Rank= 1. Roots 2300 - heard
Rank= 2. Lyceum 2270 - heard
Rank= 3. St. Pats 2240 - heard
Rank= 4. Saint Mary’s 2190 - seen <a href=“This%20is%20disputed”>i</a>*
Rank= 4. Nixor 2190 - seen/heard</p>

<h2>Rank= 4. **Saint Mary’s ** 2150 - seen <a href=“This%20is%20disputed”>i</a>*</h2>

<p>yeah guys, let’s keep the rankings current by only ranking CURRENT YEAR scores. i know a guy from grammar ('07) who had a 2400 and a girl from lyceum ('08) who scored a 2340 so that just leads to confusion.
may the best school win! :)</p>

331

<p>^Can I add someone from Nepal too? </p>

<p>If you guys allow, I’d like to add one more person:</p>

<p>My neighbor: 2400-seen!!! Currently studies at an IVY :)</p>

332

<p>No thank you confidential dude … we vud rather keep the list to Pakistan’s Class of 2015 or this list wud fill wid 2400 in two days!!!</p>

333

And no new acceptances, really. Seems like they’re all gonna come now in one huge wave on the 1st of April.
So you guys prepared for LUMS?</p>

<p>But one has to realize that on their own, SAT scores are meaningless. It’s the entire individual that counts. My friend got into Yale SCEA with only 2070, while I got deferred from Stanford REA with 2260. So a word of advice to the Class of 2016 and future ones: Don’t just spend too much time preparing for the SAT because it’s only one factor. Instead, spend much more time on your essays. Lots of people will have the same or even better scores than you, but no one has your essays. No one. So make what’s yours alone count.</p>
