[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have naviance data of past 3 years from a selective school, not dmv area, and [b]not a famous feeder private or famous magnet school[/b]. When I look at the plots from the T10 applications, I don’t see differences in outcome for the two ends of the 1500-1600 range. The few kids who got into multiple highly ranked schools came from the lower end of this range, probably because they had compelling extracurricular achievements or strong leadership. It is definitely not worth maximizing the SAT scores above a certain point.

And contrary to the recent post claiming that kids with 1530+ will likely get into a t20 school, I don’t see our school data reflecting this claim at all. The 1530+ kids are just fine wherever they end up and will be very successful I’m sure, but they are hardly a shoe-in at t20 schools. Our t20 matriculation rate is a lot lower than our number of high scoring kids (we have a lot). I see a lot of red X’s even for 1550+ kids. Heck, even for the perfect scorers.[/quote]
Most of the T10 admits at your school are hooked?

At non-feeders, t10 admits are rare for unhooked.

At feeders, t10 admits become possible for high stats.[/quote]
