[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are TONS of kids who apply to Ivies as a "what if." Even if they only toss transcripts with tons of Bs and Cs and don't even look at scores, that likely eliminates a swath of applicants.[/quote]

AOs say that 60-80% of applicants are qualified.[/quote]

I simply don't believe that -- all the top schools say it to an extent, but it feels like a throwaway line.[/quote]

DP I agree. I have known so many kids who applied to HYPMS after taking the SAT 4 times to get to 1500 superscore. I think 60-80% “qualified” is technically true if you call 1400 qualified, but in reality I bet only 40% are legit candidates. On the other end of my observation is that kids who are truly top kids do get into these schools pretty reliably. [/quote]

A 1500 for an unhooked candidate is not high enough.[/quote]

You all are predictably ridiculous. Saying that a 1400 SAT is not qualified or a 1500 isn’t high enough. Of course those kids are qualified academically even if they don’t make the final cut for the very few available seats.[/quote]

After learning all those remedial math classes at ivies, you know how arbitrary they could be.  A 1500 is certainly academically qualified at Yale or Harvard.  Whether or not they will be admitted is another story.[/quote]
