[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way. For a top private/ public, [b]once your SAT is above 1450-1500, it doesn’t matter anymore[/b]. From that point on, it’s GPA, EC, essays, letters of recommendation and other less tangible stuff. Now, think about how many kids from your school with test scores in that ballpark and much higher GPA are applying to the same top 20 schools? If your school is one of those privates that are known for grade deflation, the answer may be different.[/quote] I don't want to belabor your point, which has some validity, but for very top schools the statement I bolded above is not true. Many top schools have 25th percentiles above 1450, which will make an unhooked applicant in that range impossible to admit.[/quote]
