<p>When it comes to HYP, nobody can predict anything. None are easier to get into than the other. Use your ED/EA on the school that you like most, and hope for the best!!! There's no sense in wasting your EA on yale if you're going to sit there and think, "i wish i were at princeton." The difference between the schools in terms of admissions is so miniscule that there is no sense in trying to game the system. However, the differences in other aspects... location, student body, etc... are large enough that you will want to find the one you love most and apply there early.</p>
<p>My plans have actually changed somewhat. I was originally planning to apply to Princeton ED, but then I talked to the track coach at Harvard, and now I'm being recruited there for the hurdles, so I am applying EA. My SAT's are 2280 (780m, 730v, 770w).</p>
<p>hey how tell me how mcuh preparation needed to get a very good score like yours? mean how much practice did u take and how long before did u start practicing?and can u give me any tips? im really nervous for my SATs-ill be giving it the first time this october!
are these scores from your first attempt itself ? or have u given the SATs once already?</p>
<p>my obsessive compulsive tendencies are taking over here - you don't give SATs, you take them.</p>
<p>The amount of preparation required varies from person to person. I worked for the SATs for about a month and it wasn't particularly intensive either. I did fine though I'd probably do much worse in the new SAT because it's longer and my mind tends to wander after 3 hours.</p>
<p>Icy,
I will be applying to Yale early, Stanford & Harvard regular decision. All the Ivies are extremely competitive in terms of SAT scores and admissions, but the hardest is Harvard. 1/4 of their class has 1600s.
As for the "Baptist discrimination," I have no idea what you are talking about. That is total bull*****. You do not need to watch out for the "whities." I have several friends who go to Harvard (as well as Yale and Princeton for that matter). These people are white, asian, and hispanic. They say that the people are EXTREMELY nice and hold no prejudices whatsoever. These campuses are the most liberal places on Earth, and I promise that you will experience no discrimination whatsoever.</p>
<p>No, those are my best two combined... i had a terrible day the first time and my only good score was writing. It was the reverse the second time... good math/verbal, bad writing. So it worked out for me in the end. I actually took a Princeton review course last summer, which was probably unnessary but helpful none the less. The best thing you can do for yourself is look over a book then chill out... i didn't even pick up a book before PSAT's (since the summer course, that is) and i got a 233 because i was so relaxed. I freaked out before the SAT's, though, and as a result i never quite reached my PSAT mark... <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>That's odd....most liberal place in the world combined with baptist discrimination. Are people religious there? If they are then that would mean semiconservative...that's really odd!</p>
