<p>At my catholic high school in san antonio, TX, 5 of us were accepted to Rice this year. I’m not sure what’s up with the people on college confidential, but no one that got in from my school had anything near a 2400, most scores were 2100-2250 area and the subject test scores were anywhere from 680-800.
This recent update in our class’s acceptances has challenged my previous tendency to think that test scores are everything. My other friend got int WUSTL with a 2140 SAT, 780 math, 730 chem, and no research or anything special at all. Interesting…</p>
<p>really? ppl w/ similar stats at our school mostly got wait-listed
the ones i know got in had 2300+ top 10 rank state champ athlete and so on…</p>
<p>i am getting worried too. I just got wait listed to CMU engineering in their first wave, so I am getting pretty worried about my chances at cornell engineering. My sat is 2250 and in top 1% in a pretty competitive school. getting really worried if there is something fundamentally wrong with my app.</p>
<p>well depends on the particular undergraduate school</p>
<p>Just an update. I got waitlisted at Chicago, Carnegie Mellon, Washu, JHU, Northwestern, and Rice. I got into UVa though. I applied for engineering for all those school (except Chicago which doesn’t have engineering). What do you think is going to happen to me on Tuesday? Accept/waitlist/reject? I applied to Cornell’s Engineering school (1st and only choice).</p>
<p>Waitlisted at Northwestern and Wash U, Rejected at Rice
What do you think are my chances for Cornell, 1 - 10??
Top 10% and GPA W : 4.2, but senior year is 4.5, ACT: 34</p>
<p>i’m sure there’s hope for getting into an ivy league even if you’re rejected/waitlisted by NU, Wash U, Rice, U of Chicago, etc.
A lot of people who have similar stats to all of us are getting likely letters to ivies
Hopefully???</p>
<p>Do they send likely letters to Asians? I feel like I’m going to get waitlisted or worse rejected after all these bad news from my colleges. Cornell’s my last hope.</p>
<p>Well I’ve heard they send likely letters to URMs a lot and exceptional students. If you’re exceptional, then maybe! haha. But don’t lose hope if you don’t, i’m sure most acceptees don’t get a likely letter.</p>
<p>Okay thanks alot.</p>
