Bill Gates那个年代，GPA和SAT就足够了，当时financial aids很少，读得起藤校的孩子不多。

Bill Gates got 1590 on SAT， 当时，每年可能只有几个SAT满分。

 

“Before SAT was recentered in 1994, a perfect 1600 was a rare score, usually only about 7 to 10 a year. Before the mid-1970s it was even rarer because preparing for the SAT was discouraged in most places (CB claimed at the time that studying for the SAT could not improve your score). In the late 60s early 70s, a 1300 or higher SAT gave you a chance at any of the ivies except at Yale before 1969 and Harvard before 1973 if you were female.”

• 当年，聪明的穷孩子只能上“穷人的哈佛”，后来financial aids多了，“穷人的哈佛”就没人愿意去了。 -BeLe- ♀ (0 bytes) () 04/13/2019 postreply 21:52:33

• 也没有太大决心，他停学后又回哈佛读了一年书，然后才退学。 -BeLe- ♀ (0 bytes) () 04/13/2019 postreply 22:12:21
