[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Applied 1989. 1410 SAT. 5 APs (all 4s & 5s). Top 10% of class at top prep school. Good (not spectacular athlete) with leadership roles & interesting background (but not URM). Rejected Princeton, Stanford. WL Dartmouth. Accepted Georgetown, Bowdoin, Middlebury. Maybe not so very different from today after all?[/quote] Another 1410 who graduated in 1990 chiming in here. Ranked 18/222. NMSF. ECs included cheerleading, student teaching, after-school job, summer jobs. Got a rec from employer actually. (All HS essays hand-written btw.) NY public school and needed FA. Went to Penn (not Penn State). Also got into Michigan (honors), Emory, Binghamton, Albany. Given option to take gap yr and come to Cornell but declined. Back then girls breaking 1400 was unusual - the only other girl I know who did so went to Yale. DC22 is going to Penn too. [/quote] ^^ also rejected from Tufts which was NOT need-blind then or now fyi. [/quote]
