[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol only smart kids go to Duke and Dartmouth sorry you can’t get in.[/quote]
Lol both schools will admit a kid with a 1250 over a kid with a 1580 if the 1250 fills some institutional priority and the AO who reads the application happens to decide that the 1580 kid seems boring or unlikeable. [/quote]

Are you AO? Stop spreading lies. Kids are evaluated holistically including SAT.

* 22% Valedictorian 
* 95% top 10% of the class
* 99% submitted

Fact check - https://admissions.dartmouth.edu/sites/admissions.prod/files/admissions/wysiwyg/class29profile_fin.pdf[/quote]

There are lots of tricks to make the numbers look good. Again, I am going by the kids who went to Dartmouth from DC’s school last year. Not a single one of them was in the top 10 percent of the class. One of them was not even in the top 20 percent. But that won’t show up above because technically, the school doesn’t rank. (The top 10 and 20 become apparent from cum laude indication). [/quote]

Great. Please stay away from schools that admit normal human.[/quote]
