<p>Yeah, in no way do high scores guarantee admission, but lower than average scores at those schools will minimize your chances because of the sheer competition. I like to think of it realistically; if the admission rate is around 9%, that means around 9 students are admitted out of every 100 applicants. Would those scores help you become one of those lucky 9? Probably not, unless you have something else amazing going for you…</p>
