<p>Very nice OP. My cousin also had a very low SAT score (1960) but had excellent stats in other fields and was admitted into Stanford last year. The only bad thing really is that…well…if you really aren’t as smart as those other guys who get the 2300 that go to Stanford, you’re really going to suffer. My cousin had a relatively low SAT, but a great GPA and EC. However, she went to a crummy high school in the ghetto, so the difficulty of her classes were not as difficult as other schools; I would know, her homework and tests for her AP classes was like elementary school stuff in comparison to mine! So in a sense, her GPA didn’t really represent her intelligence at all. Even though she got into Stanford, she definitely suffered this year, with a 2.6 GPA currently. She told me how other students would bash on her by saying “Oh you’re one of THOSE people that got in.” It’s hard to bare really. So if you are one of those type of students, all I can say is good luck.</p>
