[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a broken record here but once you hit the threshold, it doesn’t matter for the HYP of the world.

It does matter for a school like Duke or Vandy.

It matters too at JHU Penn.  That said, they have gotten so many 1580+ applying to JHU and Penn.  Sometimes it gives you an illusion that they don't care but they do.  Any school outside HYPMS all cares a great deal about your test score.

Those who want to believe that somehow a [b]1580 is actually viewed differently than a 1570 [/b]will keep deluding themselves. Nothing that anyone says will convince them otherwise. Likewise, those who believe that MIT somehow considers a 770 different than a 780 (though both may result from the exact same number of missed questions) because of their bucketing example which was an example rather than a hard rule will likewise never be convinced otherwise.

Others will settle into what the vast majority of informed voices say which is that above a certain point other factors take over.

Pick your poison because neither group is listening to the other but as you pick remember that correlation isn't causation.[/quote]

Views are changing.

A year ago, people would challenge "somehow a 1580 is actually viewed differently than a [b]1500[/b] will keep deluding themselves."  Now they don't say 1500 anymore.  Because they also believe 1580 is different from 1500 in kind.  [/quote]
