“There's a rumor going around that the school doesn'tJul 12 2010Psychology
There's a rumor going around that the school doesn't accept anyone with an HS GPA of less than 3.5 unless they play sports or have done some significant research. It is virtually impossible to graduate in 4 years if you don't transfer AP credits in, also. At least 3 or 4 classes is recommended.
SAT: 2100 Female

I took a bunch of AP courses in high school, scored a 1550 on my SATs, played varsity tennis four years (2 state championships), and was editor-in-chief of my HS newspaper. Similar stats will probably help you get accepted.

“I got a 1210 on my SAT (old one) and still got inApr 22 2007Political Science
I got a 1210 on my SAT (old one) and still got in. I think it helps that I'm an International Student. I had a bunch of extracurricular activities as well. I suppose if your SAT/ACT isn't up to par, be sure you were involved in high school.
SAT: 1210 Male
