[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I say submit because it's around or above the median SAT scores for these colleges.  [/quote]

It is not though.  Median at UPenn is 1540, Duke is 1550, JHU is 1550.  1510 is at or below 25% for all three schools: Penn (1510-1560), Duke (1520-1570), and JHU (1530-1560).[/quote]
MIT and Cal Tech were the only two colleges pre covid with average SATs > 1500. None of these schools have anywhere near the averages advertised, if everyone's scores had been included. Since almost all of the top 20 is going test required or preferred, it's likely the current average SATs which exclude TO, will drop over the next two cycles. [/quote]

INCORRECT. Duke was 1480-1560 , 25th-75th %ile the last pre-TO year,& PENN was 1460-1570. Neither school lists the median but one can infer it is above 1500. Cannot find JHU but it was not on our list as one of the group with the +1500 scores pre-test optional. 
We tracked all of this for our HS '22 grad and have a spreadsheet.  All the ivies besides Cornell and Dartmouth had a median 1500+ (Brown was the 3rd lowest ivy right on 1500).  as well as MIT Caltech Stanford Vanderbilt and Duke. Our private college counselor advised targeting  schools and deciding submission based on the pre-TO data. [/quote]

NP: based on those numbers, OP's kid should submit scores to Duke and Penn. [/quote]
