<p>Hey guys, I hear that at top schools they simply do a preliminary check on your grades and SAT before they move onto your essays and other parts of your application. Here are my stats:</p>

<pre><code> UW gpa: 3.77
W gpa: 4.59-4.6
SAT- 2370
SAT Math Level 2-800
</code></pre>

<p>SAT Physics- 780
In the top 17% of my class, but I should note that my high school is extremely competitive, consistently ranked in the top 15 high schools in the nation by Us News</p>

<p>Do you think I would be able to make it pass the preliminary check on grades/sat in schools like Stanford, Harvard, UPenn, etc?</p>

<p>Yeah, for sure. Even at a semi-competitive, or average school, you’d at least make it past “preliminary checks.”</p>

3

<p>Yeah even if UW GPA may be <em>slightly</em> low your SATs and SAT II are pretty stellar. Even without knowing anything else, you have the grades and SAT to get in. </p>

<p>Thank you so much! I was getting worried that my application might not even get looked at.</p>

<p>I think Pre Lims probably just rule out all of the people who’s stats are just entirely too low to even CONSIDER anything else. No problem!</p>
