[quote=Anonymous]SAT averages are roughly the same (it's a normed test) but a lot more people are taking it--and you are hearing from a lot more people than when you took it (via social media) and seeing more data sets (via common data set). So 1400 is still roughly the top 5%, but that represents a much larger number. College admissions at selective schools is a lot more competitive because there are more applicants --both sheer numbers, including international students--but also each kid might apply to 15-20 schools. But the number of slots stays roughly the same--so more competitive. The main point these days is that a good SAT score won't get you in a top 50 school--you need a whole package of grades, rigorous curriculum, extra-curriculars, awards and high SATs.[/quote]
