[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP with no issues about my kid going to Dickinson, but that’s not true - the difference between a 1500 and 1550 is a few questions, the difference between a 1380 and 1550 is not. Also most students at Dickinson did not get 1380s, just the “top” group. [/quote]

The 25% is 1383 at Dickinson--taken from their Common Data Set.  NOT the 75%.  So this means 75% of the students got ABOVE 1383.  So your "top group" is 75% of the school.  All still very smart/motivated kids, and even those who get a 1550 can learn with and from someone who got a 1383[/quote]

The 75% at Dickinson College is about 1380--but most do not submit standardized test scores to Dickinson as it is test optional. My best guess is that the top 25% SAT score at Dickinson College for ALL matriculated students is closer to 1200 than to 1300.

OP: Garbage in, garbage out. Just name the school.

Regardless, for a student with a 1550+ SAT score to apply ED to such a school is tantamount to parental neglect. Finding a desired career position during & after school will be significantly hampered by attending an LAC in the #40 to #50 range for one who is a serious contender for a top 10 school.

Again, garbage in, garbage out OP. Need more specifics in order to give meaningful information.[/quote]
