Girl with 1370 SAT gets in to 5 Ivies

[Anonymous]

Skipping all the cr&p about URM, etc. to say thank you for sharing this students incredible accomplishments. She was raised well and obviously excels in effective time management.
Can’t wait to see what she does next.

Why do people obsess with 200 point variation at the upper end of a multiple choice test? Do not believe anyone who tells you this is the sole or primary determinant of academic brilliance or success. I am multiple decades from taking the test myself (only once) and a multiple IVY graduate. Over the decades this could not be further from the truth. The SAT does not make the person. As you mature in life and witness others you may come to the same conclusion.

If you can’t wait to see what she does next…. She’ll major in a soft subject like sociology (no one with 1370 is in STEM at an Ivy), work an admin job with a glorified title (program assistant) at a nonprofit since F500 companies cut DEI and stopped recruiting students with horrible quantitative skills, and ride that as far as possible.

The test was actually difficult and scores were deflated when you took it. A 1500 is really the bare minimum to show you have a handle of algebra and reading comprehension. A 1370 is an awful score and you should google what type of schools have that as the median. She was a bad student and there’s nothing special about her besides the box she checks.

“Not all interventions require pharmaceutical treatment, but way to slander those with a medical condition and show this is truly about inclusivity!”

Poppycock!

The problem is it doesn't apply to Asians or Whites. That is the problem.

The student is the one who is posting all over tiktok about her "low" SAT score and how she got in to Ivies with her essays about the Black community.

Donating millions is a benefit to a university. Playing a sport at a DI level is at least an accomplishment of some sort. Being born URM isn’t an accomplishment or at all a benefit to a university.

A amazing example of Dunning Kruger.

No! She's impressive! The activities and accolades (and maybe teacher LOR) are why she got in.

My Asian DD applied test optional (With similar test scores tbh) and got into MANY T20 schools (and is going to one of them)!

Agree! And I also have an ORM test op kid at an Ivy too....
Not sure why the hate here?
I think people don't understand what holistic admissions is.

There are a lot of us on here!!
The idiots here focused on test scores and nothing else don’t get it.

The sad and simple truth is that their children are not compelling. They are not interesting. They are not interested. And it comes across in everything they convey in the common app. They will never have the results our children have had. It has nothing to do with test scores.

I know many interesting white or Asian kids with higher stats who had nowhere near that kind of success. People who overcame disabilities, took care of sick family, did advanced college level academic work on their own for fun, etc. I know one kid who did all 3, in fact, plus the higher stats. I don’t think you understand the extent to which race sways decisions, so you are struggling to understand the extent to which people want this in the past.

No.

You just don't want URMs, and blacks specifically, to get the same opportunities.
College admissions are subjective. Half the kids admitted are institutional priorities. Most are white. But no complaints on DCUM.

A post saying many very interesting white and Asian kids are rejected with higher stats from Ivies tells you the author doesn’t want Blacks to get “the same” opportunities? Really? Wow. “Same opportunities” means deciding on merit, not skin color. Otherwise, why stop at colleges? Why not use affirmative action for all hiring and elections? SCOTUS already ruled on this. The issue now is whether they need to weigh in again on things like essays being used to achieve the same effects as before. I actually hope they don’t, but people like you make it more likely they will.

The young lady got in on merit. Dummy.

5 Ivies accepted her.

There are countless whites who got accepted with similar academic profiles. One Asian in this thread admitted as such.

Get over it.

The Asian lady did not say her kid got into an ivy, let alone 5 ivies and 2 waitlists to ivies. There are not countless whites this happens to…unless they are also with a hook (urm, rural).

Did you attend college? What was your score? Did you get to 1000? I bet her score is higher than yours.

If my score was 1370 or lower I wouldn’t be able to type a quick paragraph like above. I’d be a small notch above illiterate.

Rural whites don’t get into that many ivies with 1370s, if even one. Almost every state has at least one excellent private and public than can get them a 1450 or above.

Her time is now best served and managed by telling the world how to get into great schools with awful stats with zero shame.
