<p>“In fact, they had just turned down the grandson of a major donor.”</p>
<p>lol, and ofc, they did it just so they could brag about it. jk ;)</p>
<p>I think people stress too much about that SAT. At least the non-math/science part. It really doesn’t matter if you’ve got strong the rest of the application. If you suck in school and suck in life, and have no time to do some kick ass project, then warm up the chair and give a month of your life towards pulling 2400 on the SAT. That will show that you tried, and prepare a good explanation why you sucked in school so far. But, imo it’s much better to devote that month you would spend preparing CR to some project that will knock them from their feet…</p>
<p>here is a repeat of a very good thread from the last year cause it really answers a lot of question that people keep asking, right? :D</p>
