Yall had little mix

My accent changes bc I’m in a bilingual house so sometimes it’s west London but not chav, if I’m around posh people I get a Chelsea accent but not a private school rah accent, and if I’m in Czechia then I get the international-American-ish accent

She got in test optional
rancid epoch
1460 is not a bad score right?
azure wren
Its not
Its jst im glad these institutions are realizing that sat doesnt determine if ur smart or not
It determines how much access u have to resources
Going off of ap scores is prolly better
But I digress
rancid epoch
ahh
sat was a nightmare
I got 1400 and decided to go test optional
and MIT was the only uni who required it
rancid epoch
It determines how much access u have to resources
I agree!!!
mellow sentinel
I didn't submit

azure wren
yes!!!
dim wagon
🤣🤣
azure wren
why
dim wagon
It’s MIT lol
azure wren
so?
dim wagon
An extremely rigorous technological institution
azure wren
Then harvard is?
dim wagon
Your SAT is a pretty good indicator of success there
azure wren
So r the ivies
dim wagon
MIT in particular
No
You’re not understanding me
You’re just arguing to argue
Bye
dim wagon
The ivies are humanities based
If you do bad on the SAT
It’s not an indication of success
And by bad I mean below the National average
Not 1400 or some shit
dim wagon
The ivies are humanities based
They include majors without much math or English at all
MIT is very math heavy
mellow sentinel
Stanford isn't humanities based
dim wagon
They have GENEDs
azure wren
I mean if u do bad below the national average that would prolly bleed into ur grades as well
mellow sentinel

dim wagon
Stanford isn't humanities based <:catstand:1036121232157970432>

have you seen the curriculum
dim wagon
Huge generalization and you’re negating your own argument 🤣
azure wren
At what score does it not bleed into your grades then
Above national average
I suppose
And the national average is low asf
dim wagon
<:catstand:1036121232157970432> have you seen the curriculum
Yes I have
I know test optional kids struggling there too
azure wren
Which is an indicator that education isnt equal
rancid epoch
but if MIT is heavily based on math, does someone with 800 in math and 600 in english have a chance?
dim wagon
Above national average
How come there are kids with 1500s and 2.0s then
azure wren
Not everyone can have access to tutoring when they also have to help pay for rent

I was talking about a specific institution and their reasons for putting back test scores

Confounding variables, have you looked at ECs?
SAT probably the MOST standardized thing out there
Compared to the rest of the application
Anyway it’s a biased argument
Low test scores are for test optional
azure wren
For who?
rancid epoch
dunno man I watched it on some ex admission officer's youtube channel
dim wagon
Despite how intellectual the argument is
rancid epoch
I dont remember his name

Whats ur opinion of a low sat score?
dim wagon
I did not study much for the SAT at all

It’s the SAT bruh
There’s more to life

It’s hard for high SATs too

i actually wrote smthg different
i wrote about how the fear of confident women is why we don't have enough women in leadership roles
like has anyone noticed how people are terrified of women being confident in what they say compared to confident men, hell im a girl and i still find confident women scary because in society its sort of unfamiliar
the gender role given is to strive to be the perfect woman, good at everything and gentle as well and that women always have to strive to be that perfect woman
and if they don't strive to be that perfect woman, they're scary
not that women who meet those aren't confident but women who are confident in themselves without reaching the standard of the perfect woman are scary to the general public because they're different, and the fear of them keeps them out of leadership

It’s neither. Nobody is prescreenjng applications days after the deadline

its speculated that most stanford late intl interviews are after a screen when they want more info about competitive people.
(only a speculation though)

So it's random/based on location?

Based on availability. If they have an available interviewer you are assigned to, you get the offer

Would they really interview someone with a 2.0 gpa tho

Maybe
I’m thinking they probably sort out the autofiltered maybe
most top schools have filters
but they’re super low

We can’t know if they have a filter for that, but regardless the interview offer is not indicative of a sign. You don’t need an interview offer to affirm you’re in better standing than a 2.0 GPA
