[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1500 has been the marker for many, many years. I believe it still is. I doubt many, if any, admissions officers care about a 1550 vs a 1540. Or a 1530 vs a 1570. All within the same standard deviation to account for those test takers having a good day vs those having a bad day.

Anyone in the 1500+ bucket gets extra attention paid to their ECs and other achievements. [/quote]

We have data on this and a 1590 has more than twice the admission rate at top 11 schools as a 1500.  It might not be worth the extra effort to get the 1590 but AOs are not indifferent to SAT scores above 1500

The journal Nature published an article about how college admissions is unfair to Asians ... in 2024? This was obvious in 1994[/quote]

In doing the study they also presented information on the admission chances by SAT score.  The anti Asian discrimination got worse between 1994 and 2014.  Then the lawsuit happened and it eased up a bit at some schools.  [/quote]
