URM + 2400 SAT (36 ACT) = Automatic Acceptance?

36 ACT is a little different than 2400 SAT, mind you. The ACT is usually considered to be a bit lower, but not by much.

<p>Haha. That’s not true at all.</p>

<p>

my friend had 2400, was salutorian, 3 season varsity captain, and very involved in theater and band. absollutely perfect in every way and he was waitlisted and didnt get in off it. (class of 2012) i know he wasnt URM, but still, ridiculous

</p>

<p>A friend of mine who is white got off the waitlist. He didn’t really have many ECs except football, which he has no desire of continuing in college, and he scored a 2190 on the SAT and a 34 on the ACT.</p>
