“Average stats all around (3Mar 29 2005History/Histories (art history/etc.)
Average stats all around (3.0 GPA, 1270 SAT). Guys have it much easier due to the disproportionate ratio. Out-of-staters will also have a tougher time getting in. Overall, show some interest in the school (take the tour, talk about it in the essay), have above-average grades (3.0+ for guys, 3.5+ for girls) and write a decent essay and you should have a good chance.
SAT: 1270 Male

“I moved around overseas a lot as a kidJan 23 2004Other
I moved around overseas a lot as a kid so I had that going for me. Tanked my freshman year but more than made up for it for the rest of high school with grades & extracurriculars. If you're a fairly strong writer then you can just crank out a generic college ap essay without obsessing over it.
SAT: 1320 Female

“I was accepted Honors Admission, and recieved an AlumniJan 11 2003English
I was accepted Honors Admission, and recieved an Alumni scholarship with a 1280 SAT score and lots of extracurriculars, but a so-so essay. I think they focus alot on high school transcript, so it is important to take as many AP and college classes as possible while still in high school. Admission is difficult.
SAT: 1280 Female
