Sorry if this comes off condescending, but threads like this REALLLY annoy me. I hate people on CC that get far than above average scores and complain about how they suck so that they can get the sympathy “Oh you did amazing” to make themselves feel better. You’re taking this “scores” thing a little too far, they’re only a single part of the application, which is not all composed of numbers. In fact, some applicants with 2400’s 4.0gpa will get denied from Duke because they aren’t rounded enough, and some kids with 1900’s and 3.4 gpas will get in because they did something in high school.
