<p>How important are test scores at upenn? (As opposed to the rest of the application)</p>

2

<p>At any highly competitive school–unless you are “hooked” in a serious way–to make the first cut you need above a 2100 or so, at minimum.</p>

3

<p>^Although this isn’t officially true, a non-hooked applicant generally needs good test scores to even be competitive at topic schools like Penn</p>

4

<p>what exactly do you mean by “hooked”?</p>

5

<p>“Hooked” applicants generally include URM’s (Under-Represented Minorities), recruited athletes, legacies and developmental students. These students are accepted at a significantly higher rate than are the others and therefore do not need extremely high scores to be competitive.</p>

<p>man common its UPenn…and numbers matter a lot here (if your dad’s a billionaire, that number would help too)</p>

<p>so yeah i would say scores and essays are the most important for these ivys</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Transcript/class rank is generally considered more important than either of those</p>

8

<p>U Penn and others like them routinely reject a supermajoprity of students with
800 on math
Valedictorians
800 on verbal
4.0</p>

<p>think of your numbers are getting you into consideration</p>

<p>almost ALL students offered admissions “qualify” for the school</p>

<p>what do you bring to the school besides (the same kind of) good statistics (that almost everybody else has)?</p>
