<p>thanx...it just seems that "Top Notch" schools are very discreet about average SAT scores, GPA, and class rank data.</p>

<p>I was hoping that someone who goes to one of these schools can help me out.</p>

<p>there is only one way for HARVARD being a safty:
-1600
-all 800's on SAT 2s
-all ap/ib/honors-geting 5s, 7s, or the highest mark possible
-amazing..AMAZING ec's, eg: i found a cure for aids, wrote a book about refugees in sierra leon...wrote a research paper along side of a leading scientist who wrote me a rec saying im an absolute prodigy...worked in the white house ... they recruited me on the CIA...MENSA...ended all wars...because of me there is world peace.. I have all of einsteins genes( not really an ec..but ya)
-URM, refugee status, first generation to go to college or a legacy, filthy rich or extremly poor with abusive parents, you have "kennedy" in your name some where, your dad/mom is a prof. at harvard, your dad is the director there, or the adcom...
-or you could just try submitting avarage scores, avarage grades, agvarage evrything else and keep your fingers crossed that you'll get lucky- who knows.
*Most ppl do the latter suggestion</p>
