Yale 2014 EA Pledge Thread

I wish I had discovered CC before my junior year. Knowing that stuff like TASP and Telluride is out there kinda puts all other opportunities in perspective.

But yes, we all push each other. I think that’s one of the biggest advantages of this site. If you can’t go to an elite high school, you can measure yourself against that caliber of kids.

oh absolutely, it’s relatively common. the 1900 is single sitting

is that a joke? (or are you being sarcastic again lol) MIT EA acceptance rate is MUCH MUCH lower than yale EA, around 4-5% and 90% get deferred

… this is making me feel relatively lame for not knowing about CC until, well, two weeks ago? Three? Either way, I feel like I’ve found my way alright.

Here’s a useful link for those who are wondering where they place in the SAT spectrum.

<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools;

This was actually the most recent report I could find that had the actual number of persons receiving a specific score. To my knowledge, the 2008 and 2009 does not include this information. Since the report was created in 2007, I imagine that the competition has only increased and one may expect more people scoring in the top percentiles.

So in 2007, the number of college-bound students scoring between 2350 to 2400, inclusive, was 1,849 people. Again, it is safe to assume that the number has gone up since.

Actually, this is the most recent report.

Wow. Thanks for supplying the link, xaari. Looks as if there was a tumble in the 2390 - 2400 category. I wonder what happened?

Stupefy · November 5, 2009, 6:51pm

^yeah strange huh

fresh101 · November 5, 2009, 6:51pm

^2390 is the harder score to get, even harder than a 2400 :)

Stupefy · November 5, 2009, 7:06pm

lol I got a 2390! woo people who are imperfect :D

I think we should move all the random chatter to the general SCEA thread.

It will be difficult for whoever is doing the analysis to interpret the pledge data if they have to filter through a bunch of unrelated conversations.
