Well I had a good SAT ScoreFeb 25 2005Other
Well I had a good SAT Score... and an 89.9% GPA in High School. Also a New York State Regents Diploma with Honors... so that probably Helped. If you really want to come here, apply early decision, because the Freshman Dorms Fill up first Come First Serve, and you want to be in Barton Hall, trust me... everyone wants to be in Barton Hall... and it totaly fills up with the Early Decision Kids.
SAT: 1430 Female
Do good in math/chem/physics in high school and getJan 12 2005Electrical Engineering
Do good in math/chem/physics in high school and get a math SAT score in the 700s (50% of our freshman class had an SAT math score in the 700s, and roughly 6-7% aced the math portion). Humanities don't matter. Good luck everyone!!
I applied as early decision but got accepted onDec 12 2004Math
I applied as early decision but got accepted on regular admissions. My counslers told me not to waste money applying because i wasnts going to get in. My suggestion to you even if you grades are not strong overall but you have taken number of math and science courses go ahead and apply you never know.
SAT: 1200 Male
