| liangshentm, don't give up hope if you're out of state! Many kids from my school were accepted to UC Berkeley, even to EECS, which was the program I was applying for. | |

| Whirl-winds post discourages me-- it seems like what those top scores really care about in the end is the perfect test scores. Without any ECs, you were able to get in to so many amazing schools. Are the numbers really all that matter? I have an 800 CR, 700 M, 780 W, so perhaps for those of us who can't swing perfect 800's on everything, it actually matters what we do outside of school.
To the one who started a bakery-- that's amazing. Congratulations. I'm hugely impressed  | |

| artcoffeejazz, who is whirl-winds, i can't seem to find that post you're referring to
edit: found it
actually, to me, the remarkable thing about that user was not test scores. it was the thing about "publishing math papers in math journals." that is HIGHLY impressive...clearly not your average math whiz...also, that person didn't list his/her stats in much detail so he/she probably had even more | |

| redorange, how many AP's did you take in your high school career? Just wondering. It's a breath of fresh air to see that someone got into Harvard without having a frillion EC's and leadership positions. | |

| I took 4 AP tests freshman-junior year, and 6 AP classes senior year. However, I only took three AP tests senior year because Yale doesn't give credit for a lot of them. | |
