A guy at my school is saying that he got into UNC-Chapel Hill with a 1080… How is it possible??
Do you think he is probably a liar?
<p>what a stupid question...like any stranger on this board would know any more than you do about this guy...</p>
<p>no.. but i dont think UNC accepts native english speakers w/ 1080 SAT..</p>
<p>Ya NEVA know!!! Maybe this guy has a special talent of some sort or other hook that the school wants - ??? uuummmmmmm - or just maybe his other stats were golden - cuz some kiddos' just don't test that well. Who knows - but that score is not that far out of the ballpark for their 25-75th percentile. Also has in-state priority status too - sooooo who knows</p>
<p>He's in-state, and that makes the chances better.</p>
<p>To quote an adcom at the UNC info session I went to: "We'll accept kids with an 800; sure, it's possible. But they would have to pretty much 'turn water into wine.'" (In other words, be amazing.)</p>
<p>One test does not necessarily prove anything about how smart someone is, and it's entirely possible that he had some type of hook - athlete, legacy, something else - that seemed attractive to UNC when building their class.</p>
<p>wats legacy?</p>
<p>If their parents attented...</p>
