[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the SATs the same as they were in the 90s? I can’t believe I got into an Ivy League school with less than a 1400 back in the day… (forgive the dumb question, my kids aren’t yet seniors so I haven’t gone through the insanity yet.)[/quote]

Acceptance rate at most Ivies was in the 40% range in late ‘80s/early ‘90s. It’s a different world. [/quote]

Yep - but even back then people with lower stats were getting in.  I got into W&M with a 1320 in 1990 (which in today's standard is considered over 1400), but my roommate at W&M only had a 910.  I was a bit astonished because at my northern VA public school, no one under 1300 was getting accepted to W&M at the time.  State schools are required to take kids form all over (and many areas of VA will have kids with stats lower than the major metropolitan areas).  [/quote]
The SAT itself has also been overhauled multiple times since the 90s so the scores may not be precisely comparable. [/quote]
