I am constantly amazed by all of the high stats on this board, which might support the privileged, prepped and supported argument. How are all of these kids scoring so high?[b] In my day, at a competitive, privileged school, anything over 1400 seemed excellent,[/b] but here it’s almost scoffed at? Has the test changed that much? How do all of your kids have nearly perfect scores? Clearly I’m only starting the process with my own DC but they are already talking about not submitting because they won’t break 1400 and otherwise have all As. It just seems really broken to me. High school me would be getting rejected by every single school I applied to years ago. It really is nuts. With that said, it’s good to know there are many great schools out there, many paths to achieve the same goal/outcome. The kids are going to be alright. [/quote]

A 1400 in the 80's or 90's is not the same as a 1400 today. Somewhere, there is a graph that shows equivalence, but suffice it to say, just like there is grade inflation, so too there is SAT score inflation. [/quote]
