[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Test scores are just that. If a student scores 1350 and their school reports that score is the top of the class, that would likely be a “5”. If the students scores a 1450 and that is in the 2nd quintile of his school’s reported scores, then that student may be rated a 4 or lower.[/b]

This was the most interesting comment by OP and I apologize if it was asked about in prior threads.

This would imply that your absolute score should not determine if you apply TO or not, but rather how it compares to others from your school.

That is an interesting take that I have not seen discussed before.[/quote]

I’d be surprised if this is accurate? Because it would require a nuance in interpreting the scores.

Listen to the Dartmouth podcast with the Yale admissions officer about test scores. Tons of room for nuance, at least at highly selective privates.
