“Be kinda smartJan 10 2008Undecided
be kinda smart... i mean a lot of people don't get in for fall and go early in the summer. I hear it's hard to get into in state but out of state I did ok on SAT's , had a really good GPA, but i had very few extra curriculars. I think it's a shit shoot. Too many applicants to have a perfect system.
SAT: 1200 Female

i got a 1390 and B average at one of the best prep schools in the country and got in.

but, most of my friends got in with under 1200 sat scores. they all, however, had B+/A-/A averages in public school.

SAT score does NOT matter if you have a REALLY GOOD GPA.
