JDBoston 0 #26 March 25, 2002 Not so. Scores like that are a good thing to have, but the fact is you can get into Harvard with scores as low as 1000-1200 if you're a legitimate blue chip athlete. Places like Brown & Cornell and Penn are a bit easier to get into, but not a ton. Either way, people with 1500-1600 on their SATs regularly get turned down by schools like Harvard if there are no other apparent dimensions to their background or personality. As an indicator of academic success, though, I agree with you.That said, after a second look I am inclined to agree with Justin that this thread is a troll.Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrumpySmurf 0 #27 March 25, 2002 Heh..the reason why I ask is that CS's and EE's tend to despise Gates with a passion, yet the Business folk tend to worship the ground he walks on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk 2 #30 March 26, 2002 nope not a troll im deadly serious,with the ba's i was trying to decide which one to get , i have chosen a bacholor of business.harvard/yale/etc come after i get my bacholor the reason i posted here was because im in australia so dont know much about schools like that and there isnt really anyone to ask for oppinions.the helicopter thing is just a personal thing, just like skydiving i wouldnt mind making a little out of it but im not after a career in it.the tv thing im interested in and the way that im doing my bachalor means that i can work full time so it sounded like a good place to work.as i said this isnt something im planing in a year or somthen i know it will be atleast 3/4 years befor i can even apply for harvard/yale or get my chopper licence.plus im surprised that you thought this was a troll cause i been here for years and sure ive made my fair share of pointless posts but i have never ever trolled Opinions are like a-holes everyone has one, the only one that does you any good is yours and all that comes out is shit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
