<p>give me an honest answer thanks</p>
<p>Sorry, but not great.</p>
<p>BTW, how did you get a 1354 for SAT??</p>
<p>no idea…but I think a higher rank and GPA would help…</p>
<p>yea…how DID you get a 1354 on the SAT…?</p>
<p>Honestly - slim to none, unless you are recruited for sports.</p>
<p>How did you get a 1354 on the SAT?</p>
<p>You’re going to have to “wow” them somehow.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that the SAT used to give scores like 1354 (not always divisible by ten). My parents remember getting those kinds of scores. Plus, in the Seinfeld episode about the IQ test and the Pakistani restaurant, George pretends he got a 1409. But I’m not sure how this is relevant, since it hasn’t been like that for years.</p>
<p>1354 on a recent SAT! <----- That is the “Wower”, only a genius could get that =D</p>
<p>also calculating your GPA to the ten thounsand places is impressive too…</p>
<p>Good luck with it!</p>
<p>yea…i think this guy is BSing</p>
<p>might as well ask for chances in here too…dont wanna start a new thread on it</p>

<p>-do athletics factor AT ALL into your admission if you wont be a recruited athlete?
-i understand that my gpa sucks…im trying hard to raise it this semester. anyway will the fact that for a junior i take relatively advanced math and spanish (calc bc, spanish 4 (not a native)) balance the fact that i always get Bs in those classes -.-
-any advice</p>
<p>thaaanks thanks.</p>
<p>At least your reporting appears honest.</p>
<p>haha whats that supposed to mean?</p>

<p>–So what do u guys think of my chances of getting into Stanford with early action?</p>
<p>Good chance if you’re not applying for Financial Aid.</p>
<p>freddy1080: if you look at the first post, you’ll see an interesting score of 1354 with GPA at the hundreth thousands.</p>
<p>ahh yeah i saw that…</p>
<p>but i really was wondering what my chances were. if not that, i was also interested in knowing if theyll take into account that the Bs (B-'s too… does this make a difference?) ive recieved were from pretty advanced classes. well, advanced at my school. </p>
<p>thanks hopefully</p>
<p>It’s hard to say about Stanford admissions, primarily because it changes from year to year. You can’t say until your senior year (because grades for this year haven’t come out). It also depends on applicant pool.</p>
<p>ah thanks then. c/o '06, at my school at least, so far isnt as craaazy as our '05 was but i think thats because our '05 was really great for some reason</p>
<p>this is a direct quote from the Yale dean, probably goes true for Stanford also:
“I could fill the freshman class twice with applicants who have gotten 1550 or higher”</p>
<p>Here’s the truth, you need four categories:
- Academic record needs to be impeccable ~1500, 750’s 8AP’s
(blacks/latinos get a break, white ppl even, asians need to be more impressive) - Regional recognition in your EC’s (state, or large city competition winner)
- Likeable essay. (Original, thoughtful, innovative… you know, the works)
- Excellent recommendations. (Your teacher thinks you’re the best student in a few years)</p>
<p>That’s the formula for getting in. If you lack something in one area, better make it up in another. Grades not excellent? hope you’re likeable or go become an Intel finalist. Not exactly Yo Yo Ma? hope your teachers are nice and get a perfect score on the SAT.
Again, race plays an important part. If you’re latino/black, standards will be lower (just read the book from the former Duke Admit officer). If you’re asian, standards will be higher (Just look at the UC’s, asian invasion because there is no affirmative action).</p>
<p>Those four categories are not absolute. You forgot to take into consideration what Stanford Admissions said on their website: a demonstration of intellectual curiosity. </p>
<p>Secondly, academic record is relative to the school. If your school does not offer 8 APs, that doesn’t mean you will not be accepted. Comparing a student with only 7 APs in a school that offers only 10 to a student who took 10 APs in a school that offers 20 APs would be unfair. </p>
<p>And unless you’re an admission officer or a retired admission officer from Stanford, the “formula” you have devised carries no weight; however, your opinion on the matter is appreciated as your view allows us, the applicants, the ability to consider where our strengths are.</p>
<p>If you haven’t read “Admissions Confidential” please do so.
The Duke admit officer basically outlines six categories: each carry a score from 1-5. THere’s grades, testing, curriculum, achievement, recommendations and essay. Two readers go through the file and rank. if the student has 54 or above (differs every year), its an auto-admit. So YES, there are strict categories. Intellectual curiosity would go under essay and recs.</p>
