4

Critical Reading 575

<p>umm… you can only get xy0scores…? or so i thought. which would make this untrue.</p>

6

<p>actually it is possible…that’s a 5th percentile score at UCB…which means that they are actually people who’ve gotten lower scores and were accepted</p>

7

<p>either her parents donate and have connections, she is an athlete, or that is just the luckiest thing ive ever seen</p>

<p>21 ACT and 3.43 GPA and got into Berkeley???</p>

<p>As username said, SAT scores end in a “0,” so all but the “writing 490” are made-up scores. So, as siglio21 says, while the admissions information shows there are a few students in that range admitted, this particular person made up those numbers.</p>

<p>Also, the admissions information is structured such that you cannot see complete profiles, therefore the few students admitted with a 400-range in math may have had a 700-range in CR, the low GPA may have had perfect SATs, and any of them may have been a heavily recruited olympic athlete.</p>
