<p>so what if someone got really really low SAT scores (like 1000/2400) and good grades, and was white and won the Nobel Prize for Medicine or someting?</p>
<p>would he get into any college he wanted to? </p>
<p>lets say he got low SAT scores because he hadn't slept for three days because he was up all night working on the cure for AIDS</p>
<p>Definitely at Chicago. They have to catch up with Columbia. :eek:</p>
<p>The Nobel Prize? That little thing? No, colleges would just skim over it in the application.</p>
<p>Why? Are you planning to get the Nobel prize to beat your "friend"?</p>
<p>Honestly, I'm unsure. It doesn't guarantee research funding.</p>
<p>I think the person would prob be a shoe in ESPECIALLY if his/her recs made it a point that "they were unable to focus much on SATs, GRADES, ETC because of his/her drive to cure _______"</p>
<p>yeah...</p>
<p>Wow, has CC hit a new low? Even if we play along, the youngest person to get a Nobel Prize I know of was 25. Let us know, parkrunner, when you beat that record by ~8 years.</p>
<p>i don't think i could get the nobel prize (and my SAT scores are already high enough), and i don't know of any high school that COULD.</p>
<p>this is a hypotethtical question.</p>
<p>this question was asked out of sheer curiousity. i don't understand the animosity. there's NOTHING wrong with asking a question out of curiosity</p>
<p>they would probably get some honorary degree</p>
<p>Yea. It would "garuntee" admission. You are a humble little bugger aren't ya?</p>
<p>lol, that would by-far-far-far-far guarantee admission anywhere. It would probably even guarantee admission straight to a PhD program with full-funding.</p>
<p>If you're good enough to get a Nobel Prize, college isn't for you. You're already above it by then.</p>
<p>When that actually happens, try applying to be a professor at the top10 while you receive honorary degrees everywhere.</p>
<p>Ah yes cuz we know lots of people with 1000 SAT scores get Nobel Prizes in medicine.</p>
<p>NONE with an SAT score of lower than 1600 score will win a Nobel prize...unless he or she has certain mental problems and then there are special colleges for insanely bright mental students..</p>
<p>Um, come again?</p>
<p>AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!</p>
<p>I hope this was a sarcastic thread.</p>
<p>lmaoisdf. good plan, win a nobel prize.</p>
<p>Legacy, URM>Nobel Prize</p>
<p>This really is a silly topic- but as for Sheed’s comment about no one without a 1600, or a mental disability will win the Nobel prize-- look up Richard Feynman- SAT score was about a 1000/1600</p>
<p>i bet he would have scored a 600 on the writing part.. ;)</p>
<p>and i didn't mean "or" a mental disability, i meant "unless" he had a disability.</p>
