^@ princeton12, out of curiosity, what were your scores? what do you think the threshold is? i’ve heard everything from 2100+, 2200+, 2250+, etc.

@ newb, well yeah some schools look for well-rounded but it seems top schools are increasingly looking for lopsided people too, so it’s always helpful to try to get a sense of whether a particular schools looks more for “perfect at everything” or “really good/passionate at a few things in particular”, y’know…
