[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know how much the application essays count?  Are they considere or is really just about the test?[/quote]

I think the test qualifies you to get your application essays read.  I am assuming that based on how kids did in the test - they would cull the pool to 200 applicants. And then take a look at everything - test scores and application essays and teacher's recommendation.

I doubt that they get it down to 200 just on test scores.   [/quote]

Yes they do. Then the rest is weeding out the poor applications, other tests/grades, recommendations. The final review is a comparison but that is just a small number of borderline. This is from reliable source. [/quote]

200 per school?[/quote]

Yes, per school. 200 or less. Just pointing out the most kids are we're out by the test without having anything else looked at. The application and recommendations are not that important except to knock you out if you are borderline and they are of low quality. If you are in that borderline group and have something spectacular in your application, it could get you in. But the test isn't far the biggest factor.[/quote]
