If you think that a 1370 isn’t “doing well” on the SAT, I hate to be the one to tell you that a 1370 would be well out of reach for you on your best day. |
How many rural whites get in with sub 1400 scores to Harvard College each year? Do you have a similar document to the one NYU had hacked and then released? Your average Yale admit from Wyoming had 1450s and lives in Jackson. Objectively not Ivy material, but nowhere close to the total lack of standards that is Ivy URM admission. It also takes about 25 students admitted over four years to account for complete flyover representation. That is nothing compared the 30% of Harvard’s classes that are URM (less than 7% would have been admitted on an academics only basis, per Harvard’s internal study). |
It's well for average schools but not at all for top schools in the US. |
A 1370 wouldn’t guarantee her admission to her flagship state school. She’d almost definitely be rejected from the honors program there. And you still insist she’s Ivy material. Let me go inject myself with melanin, do nothing in high school, and waltz into UPenn while you cheer me along. |

Her unweighted GPA is 4.0. She went test optional for most Ivies including Yale. She submitted test scores for Harvard and Brown and got waitlisted.
So for everyone saying she shouldn’t have admitted you are wrong. Top 2% of her class, 4.0, with excellent EC’s. She is outgoing. That’s what Yale saw on the application. Why is OP posting her SAT score? She deserves to be admitted. |
You would struggle to get into UMiami unhooked as a white or Asian applicant with that score. The T50 is a tough game with a 1370. |
She wouldn’t have been admitted. A 4.0 at a no name HS doesn’t cut the mustard nowadays, this isn’t Sidwell. Her ECs are very vanilla and normal. If she checked the white or Asian box she wouldn’t have had a second read of her application. The 1370 matters because it reveals a a normal intellect, something Ivies aren’t seeking unless you are URM |
Unless they ban legacy admissions and stop the Jared Kushners from getting admitted, no they won't. |
These are private schools. Your spoiled kids aren’t entitled to go to them. |
Shouldn’t these racist troll posts be deleted by now? Also, you dumb. |
This is why test required should be back already. Too much BS happening. |
It’s better than 90% of everyone else taking the test, ya dolt. |
And universities aren’t entitled to federal money or the student loan spigot. Enjoy screaming “Yas Queen” to every video of a painfully average 18 year old getting into ivies. Our children will be fine at T100 schools with junior memberships at the country club. |
| I can’t imagine being the one poster absolutely seething and keeping up with replies for 3+ hours. What a sad life. |
Top schools don’t dip to the 90th percentile unless it is a URM or an applicant from a good family that can donate seven figures. It’s not good enough, at all. |
