i definitely agree with the whole all over the charts stats... u cud have perfect sat and it wouldnt matter and you could have ok sat scores and get accepted...it makes no sense...oh and im applying to u of chicago =) def my number 2 skool!
I'm applying to UPitt as soon as I get my ACT scores in. I actually really like it there (not as much as Brown, obviously. ) I hang out in Oakland on their main campus all the time. : ]
Hey guys,
We should all post our stats. Here's an example from the thread for last year's ED applicants.
Stats:
SAT: 2300 (780 CR 720 M 800 W)
SAT IIs: 700 Biology M 740 Literature
GPA: 3.97
Rank: my school doesn't rank
Other stats: None that I can think of...
Subjective:
Essays: Worked hard, but I had two typos! Fail. But they were awesome.
Teacher Recs: One was fantastic, don't know about the other.
Counselor Rec: Don't know
Hook (if any): Two published novels (yeah, I'm that girl)
Location/Person:
State or Country: Maryland
School Type: Small non-religious private
Ethnicity: white half-Jew
Gender: I am a chica
Other Factors: not a one
General Comments: holy crap
I am! That's my hook essentially. I write for town publications, smaller national publications, go to writing conferences, and have some poetry published. *shurg* Don't think it's enough to get me in, but hopefully it helps distinguish me a tad.
Hey guys, I'm not an ED applicant but am a Brown RD applicant due to financial reasons. Love the school though, so I hope you dont mind me hijacking. Haha. Tetrisfan, which part of India? I just got back from Bangalore.
