[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL.  But I know a number of kids with 2400 in SAT.  Yup, in MCPS schools.

How is this ground breaking?[/quote]

I know a kid with perfect SAT, 4.0 GPA, 12 AP classes.... rejected by all ivies. Thank god for Berkeley. [/quote]

It's probably because these perfect scoring kids are a dime a dozen for these ivy leagues.  There needs to be something about them that needs to stand out.  I read an article by someone who sat on the Admissions Board at a prestigious univ that they are looking for students that will bring different experiences and perspectives to their institutions, not cookie-cutters.  For example, one year at an Ivy League, a male white student from Utah applied. His scores were below par [b]but they didn't have any applicants from Utah that year[/b] so they thought he would contribute to a good mix. So he got in.  Some other person, maybe even a minority, with a higher score didn't get in because of this guy.[/quote]

I find that very hard to believe.[/quote]
