[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Graduated from Big 3 in the mid 90s.

Don't remember exact stats but I was around 15-20th in a class of 100.  Average EC's - a few sports where I was decent but not a star, on the newspaper staff.  SAT was either 1420 or 1480 out of 1600 - don't remember.  Good AP scores - took 4 AP classes senior year and got 5's on all.

Rejected from Yale and Amherst.  Accepted to Penn, Haverford, Swarthmore, Trinity.

Went to Penn.  The idea of me (and most of my friends from there) getting in now is laughable.[/quote]

Very similar to me. Went to top NYC private, equivalent to Sidwell. I think my SAT was 1420.no class rankings or GPAs in my school but I was probably 20-30th in my class. A minus average, only one AP (I thought they were only for college credit, had no idea how much they played in admissions) Also average ECs and was on yearbook staff.  Rejected from Yale, Princeton and Williams. Went to Bowdoin. All my college friends say there is no way we would have gotten in today.[/quote]
