<p>Or just general academic performance, rather than subjective material.<br>
I ask because my extracurriculars are pretty poor but my GPA and SAT’s are very good (4.4, and 1540/2240, respectively), and i need to adjust my college list, so any suggestions on great schools where I could still get in without great extracurriculars would be great.</p>
<p>McGill would be a very good fit</p>
<p>Ps - scape? Lol :P</p>
<p>Go back to lumby noob… :-p</p>
<p>hahahhahahahahahahahha</p>
<p>i love the responses my name is generating, makes me realize that smart people actually played runescape…seems like it’s just ■■■■■■■/5 year olds whenever i play it nowadays (once a month…).</p>
<p>but seriously, any other suggestions?</p>
<p>Obviously largish state schools like Michigan are mostly stat-driven, so that would be a good bet.</p>
<p>In terms of Ivies, your stats are competitive pretty much anywhere. Dartmouth and Cornell are more stat driven than the other Ivies (Dartmouth doesn’t even have a supplemental essay).</p>
<p>Smaller schools may be more difficult with few extracurriculars… Pomona might be worth a shot because they LOVE their high SAT candidates. </p>
<p>More importantly- you need to make sure you advertise yourself well. Even without “great” extracurriculars, there must be something you have done that would impress a college rep. You’d be surprised how many people with terrific extracurriculars don’t communicate what they done in a way to make any real difference in admission.</p>
<p>WUSTL weighs heavily on SATs I know a person with subpar gpa (except jr year), average ECs and OK essays who got in with a 2360 and national merit</p>
<p>University of Chicago?</p>
<p>I don’t think that University of Chicago is a big stats place. They don’t even require SAT II’s, and if you look on their common data sheet, from 1300-1600 the percentages of students are about the same (this excludes the writing section). I think they are more into seeing hard courses and ways that you have shown passion for learning (most schools say this, but I think they actually mean it).</p>

<p>Runescape, only requiring Java, is a staple of high school computer class idling. I used to play back when I was in high school as well (back in the dark ages of the early 2000’s).</p>
<p>U of C is NOT a statistics generated place. More of the opposite. Even their law school focuses on the “whole package” student, and law schools are strictly numbers based. Ergo, only law school in the country that actually cares about EC’s, essay, interview and recs.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses everyone. First and last bump.</p>
<p>Duke and dartmouth</p>
<p>what about HYP? They seem to have the highest SAT range (700-800)?</p>
<p>i think columbia acceptances are pretty score oriented</p>
<p>CalTech, Harvey Mudd, Vanderbilt, & MIT. I know that some may disagree about Vanderbilt, but Vandy has a good number of academic scholarships that may value stats.</p>
