Do you think i could get in?</p>

<p>Are you in-state or OOS?
I think if you can get 30+ more on your SAT (2000ish), you'll have a pretty good shot because of your rank.</p>

<p>You need to have SAP CR + M of 1500 to get in. Class rank and GPA are not counted.</p>

<p>Sorry, SAT not SAP.</p>

<p>"You need to have SAP CR + M of 1500 to get in. Class rank and GPA are not counted."</p>

<p>You do NOT need a 1500 to get in. I had neither and I am in.</p>

<p>It would be nice to know what your CR+M was, kkwa.</p>

<p>740m 750cr</p>

<p>I had 720/730, 3.25 gpa and I got in Plan 2. </p>

<p>They look at a lot more than your gpa in admissions, and even then they look at the high school you went to, etc.</p>

<p>It depends on the program you want.</p>

<p>LAH has loose standards because a LOT of the kids they accept don't take it (they either Plan II or go elsewhere).</p>

<p>Dean's and Turing only take like 20 kids each a year so they are really hard to get in to.</p>

<p>BHP uses rank as a major part of their criteria, you really need top 5% to have a shot there.</p>

<p>Plan II really makes the essays the focus. If you write well, you will have a strong chance.</p>

<p>But honors admissions does look at you more holistically than regular, so if you have special qualities you are more likely to stand out.</p>
