<p>Accept, Defer, or Reject?</p>

<p>I don't have the slighest clue of the applicant pool for SCEA; however, in relation to people on this board who are applying to SCEA, i would have to say:</p>

<p>defer (if you indicate that you want to retake SAT I) otherwise reject</p>

<p>BUT i have been told that the applicant quality is extremely higher on these boards compared to the actual pool, so don't worry! If that is true, then you have a chance!</p>

<p>paulhwk - why?</p>

<p>I think either accept or defer.</p>

[run4fun]

<p>Id have to agree with yz16. SAT I scores are within Stanford's range. SAT II scores are top notch. EC's are pretty good. </p>

<p>Then again, I have really similar Stats (1520 SAT, 2360 SAT II's, EIC of School Paper, MVP in Track and XC...) so maybe I'm just rooting for myself here.</p>

<p>As i said, I was going by this board's standards. If the overall pool is the same as this board, then sorry, but most likely you won't make it, and neither would I.</p>

<p>Then why Paulhomework, would you comment that this person <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=2901%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=2901&lt;/a> has a good shot even though his SAT is only 1350 as opposed to the 1450?</p>

[StressedOutSenior]

<p>Great chances. Definitely either accept or defer. Everything looks good! Good luck!</p>

<p>Forever21,
because that person said he has the potential to be on the basketball team!!!!!! and i said he has a good shot only if he's good enough to be on the team.</p>

<p>stanford allows lower stats for its athletes (or at least that's what i think)</p>
