[quote=Anonymous]I was shocked to find that the 75% percentile SAT scores are 1570-1580 for all the highly selective colleges. I understand grades, essays, extra curriculars, recommendation letters are very important, but all else being equal, does it mean a student would be more competitive with 1590 or 1600 score? Or would it not matter if you get a high score? Child took one full practice test, and the English portion of two tests. Skipped the math portion as child is pretty confident of full score on this section. Spent another 2 hours of review of wrong answers from Khan academy. Planning to take in December but since scores are around 1560 in practice registered at last minute for August test. Got 1580. With a few more hours of prep, child might be able to improve on the score. Does it make sense to try to improve on this? As insane as it seems, it is only 75% percentile for some schools. I am just not able to make sense of the numbers. Am I missing something? [/quote]
