<p>I’ve heard so many horror stories about people with ridiculous stats who didn’t get in/ got waitlisted. Also I hear they’ve moved/ are moving to a holistic system, but points are kind of a security blanket for me, so I’ll go ahead and put them up. Any comments on possible cutoffs for '12 or my chances in general would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>3096 tests- (2300+790+770) will probably be different because sat iis aren’t factored in
3900 gpa (i know, i know)
500 a-g classes
300 volunteer
150 talent (1st regional and 1st state for odyssey of the mind, 10th world so is that 300?)
7946 (relatively guarenteed)</p>
<p>150? income (we’re hovering around 60K which ive been told is the cuttoff for the first tier but not sure how they calculate in unemployment/taxes)
300? elc (got the letter but not sure if i actually made it)
8396 (in the best of all possible worlds)</p>
<p>Not sure how a ‘holistic’ view would help me, but ECs not in the point system include News Editior/ assistant EIC of school paper, writing for volunteer environmental website, and an internship with a soybean research library. I can write pretty decently so if they start actually paying attention to the essay for things other than hardship, that might help.</p>
