[quote=Anonymous]The stats don't really matter...when you get to the point of being considered for admissions, you have crossed whatever threshold these schools have - 1500 or 1550, 3.75 UW with the most rigorous classes taken, strong and unique ECs. The difference in a .10 or .20 for the GPA or 20 points on the SAT aren't going to make or break. What is your story, what do you have to offer to the college's community. It isn't like everyone getting in is a 5.0, 1600 SAT applicant. So asking about their stats is really missing the point. There are thousands more qualified applicants than there are slots available at these schools, so you have to stand out in some way, and there is no secret sauce to standing out. Just live you life and see where the chips fall.[/quote]
