[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year JHU, Penn, and Cornell are test required.

Previously there are 3000 matriculates at these three schools who did not submit scores.  That means this year the three schools combined need ADDITIONAL 3000 enrolled there to have scores.  The average score for these ADDITIONAL 3000 need to be 1540.

So yes, I think it helps this year. [/quote]

Needs to be 1540? I doubt it. They will accept A great score will help but there will be plenty of kids in the 25-50% score range accepted among those 3000 kids. They aren't going to give up their priorities to maximize test scores.[/quote]

True.  The point is when they take a low score they will correspondingly take a high score to correct the distribution.  The more low scores they are taking, the more high scores to balance them out.  [/quote]

exactly, [b]not 3000 1540 scores[/b].[/quote]

What does this mean? I'm losing track of this new math[/quote]
This year [b]three schools combined will need 750 kids with 1560+, 1500 kids with 1510-1560, and 750 kids below 1510[/b] to show up on campus.  Approximately.  [/quote]

You mean to say Penn, JHU and Cornell will need this many more kids than last year with these scores? Good luck with that if all colleges that returned to test required also need this new batch of kids vs. last year. There are simply not enough kids scoring those scores if you trust what the college board reports. I know everyone claims to have a kid with 1570+, in reality, the CB shows there aren't.[/quote]

when anyone talks ablot SAT scores, is it superscored or in one sitting? How do you know there are approximately 5000 kids with SAT score higher than 1560. If kids are reporting superscore then there is no way of knowing how many kids nationally have score 1560+[/quote]
