who's got the biggest reach?

Applying to College

<p>There are plenty of other people with much higher stats (especially on the SATs) posting in this thread. Anyways, I truly feel those are a reach for me since though my GPA is fairly solid, it is punctuated by (now) 2 Cs and a smattering of low Bs. UNC is near impossible to get in as an Out of State, and NYU is tough as it is. </p>

<p>But no offense taken ;)</p>

142

<p>I don't think a lot of people belong in this thread o_O.</p>

143

<p>well...lets see</p>

<p>jhu, rice, cornell</p>

<p>3.7uw/3.9-4.0ishw</p>

<p>33 ACT 800IC 800Bio</p>

144

<p>Yeah those are big reaches for you squarehead, because you obviously aren't smart enough to realize the purpose of this thread.</p>

145

<p>These are my reaches- considering some of my test scores, I really don't think I'll get in</p>

<p>SAT-V 770, M670, W680
SATII (this is the problem) french 470, Physics 570, MAth iic 610
3.82 GPA</p>

<p>Trying to get into Duke and Cornell</p>

146

<p>alright, I know how feel. I did pretty well on the SAT Reasoning Test and then bombed the SAT IIs...my 530 on math ic isn't going to look good at all...</p>

147

<p>thankfully i took my SAT IIs so long ago that they dont show up on the score report anymore</p>

148

<p>Well, I think I have this contest won.</p>

<p>SAT I: 1990 (710 V, 610 M, 670 W)
SAT II: 630 US H, 610 MII, 540 Lit
GPA: 3.93 (7/334)</p>

<p>Harvard and Yale for RD (talk about a reach-no a LEAP!)</p>

149

<p>Amherst, Bowdoin, and Haverford</p>

<p>GPA: 3.5(ish) unweighted, no idea what it is weighted
SAT1:
2180 (700M, 730V, 750W)
SAT2:
US Hist: 590 (it was the last test, I was having a **** day, and basically, it sucked.)
Math: 710
Lit: 720</p>

<p>So yeah, it's basically my GPA that's keeping me out of these schools, but hopefully they'll like my essays (though I haven't actually written the Haverford one yet...)</p>
