[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had one kid taking the SAT in 2022 (when it was on paper) and one who took the digital year.  Lots of kids at their private getting over 1500 both years[/quote]

I bet if you looked at Naviance, you eould see that very few kids at your private school scored over 1500.

Our high performing high school has between 625-725 seniors on a given year.  In all the years we have had kids there, naviance only shows around a dozen kids breaking 1500 on the SAT.

There is zero chance that your private school with a senior class of a couple hundred kids has "lots" of kids scoring over 1500.[/quote]

Agree with this. My family is new to college app and recently got access to Naviance. We freaked out a little seeing so many 1570-1600 the first time we checked who got into which colleges. Then it was explained to us that 1 kid got 1600 and around 10 kids got 1550+, but it looked like everyone did bc those were the top kids who typically tried for ivies EA then applied to 10-12 more schools in RD so it looked like 40 kids got 1580 when it was the same 4 kids. This is a feeder private (20+% Ivies, top 15, WASP). DC is among top kids in his class and scored 1510 in first try. He heard of no one getting 1580 in first try. I think many who say their DC did are embellishing. [/quote]
