[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean section? He didn’t take any subject tests. He has all fives on various APs except one four in physics. How can I find out the average SAT score at his high school? He wants to major in anthropology or some kind of social science. [/quote]
Section just means the breakdown of math vs verbal, which you’ve now answered separately.

I agree with a pp that you should submit if the 1480 is at or even just under the 25th percentile, especially for test optional schools where the published scores are skewed higher because lower scores aren’t submitted. Likely he should submit that score everywhere.

I’ve only skimmed so I may have missed someone saying this, but you can find the 25th and 50th percentile score in each school’s Common Data Set, or CDS. Google “CDS [name of school]”. Scroll down to the section about scores (I think maybe section C? Or D? I’ve forgotten, sorry). [/quote]

Thank you! I just looked at this for one of the high up schools he likes:

25%=1500
50%=1530
75%=1550

What does this mean? Only 25% of students scored lower than a 1500? And so he should do test optional at 1480? According to that view, right?

I see now other people said if he’s less than the 50% number don’t submit. Another person said don’t submit less than 1500 no matter what. And someone else said, just submit 1480 everywhere.

Again, I’m sorry for my lack of knowledge here- both in terms of math and college admissions!

You also need to look at the % of students submitting scores, just above the score data.

I would still submit 1480, personally (DP).[/quote]
