“Why wouldn’t top colleges want to choose people who are truly extraordinary in other areas as well as academic superstars? The best schools can afford to admit some students with a variety of strengths without lowering the school’s overall averages for GPA and test scores.”
Ok but a 1000 is really low, 50% that I think data entry error as ucbalumnus noted, is a more reasonable explanation if it’s more than one person. Even if you’re hooked - legacy, athlete, donor, hollywood actor’s child, urm, first gen, all the suggestions in this thread, you’ll have to score higher than that to be considered for admission for Harvard.
