Official Class of 2012 RD Thread

Believe me, there are a lot of accepted people with crazy scores. I think it's good that people with such high stats who didn't get in because it shows that schools look beyond the numbers.

[Kyuu]

1) People who didn't accepted tend not to post, while people who did tend to.

2) People with high scores who felt snubbed might post, because they felt they were better than other applicants.

3) Not everyone who applies to JHU is on CC. In fact, CC is actually a rather small sampling of people who do apply to college.
