<p>More bad news for UPenn dual degree applicants… apart from the guy who got in from chennai, another kid got in from bombay for one of the dual degree programs (dont know whether it was huntsman or M and T)… Chances of that coming through for someone else are pretty slim now…</p>

<p>saatvik…its no surprise u get into stanford…</p>
<p>Thanks. Unfortunately, I couldn’t write all that on the app b/c there was a limit on the number of achievements (8) and the no. of characters you could use to describe each achievement (50 chars).</p>
<p>Saatvik, did u get my Yahoo offline messages 
?</p>
<p>Sorry, I don’t use Yahoo (or any other IM for that matter) usually. If you want to get in touch, I would prefer if you leave a message on TiT or PM me here.</p>
<p>plz plz plz dont leave person to person message on TiT .,… Use PM feature if u wanna do that …</p>
<p>Also Saatvik enjoy the time ahead and rock urself in board exams… </p>

<p>i got a 2070!!!..i am sooooooooooo relieved!!! i mean after an 1810!! i got a 260 marks improvement!!!</p>
<p>My SAT II score
Chemistry : 770
Maths 2: 680
Physics: 760</p>
<p>congrats ronty!!</p>
<p>I got 760 in world history and am totally overjoyed, although CCers aften frown on anything less than 800 :p</p>
<p>Is 680 in maths2 too low for a good engg college? :(</p>
<p>thanks Callthecops…Congratulations to u too…760 in World History…cool score dude :)</p>
<p>well, for caltech and MIT maybe…I got a 680 as well, and a 750 on IC (yeah i know…the wimpy math) and a 680 is really considered bad by top engg schools. one year, all 500+ caltech students had 800 in IIC 
But your chem and physics scores are decent enough, and if you have other good scores (ie. on 10th grade boards and in class) in math, it might make up for a 680. Ben Golub on the caltech board said that I needed say a 5 on Calc BC and some sort of olympiad-esque achievement to compensate for my low IIC score.</p>
