[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not humble brag. Sorry it came out that way.

Child registered for December and scheduled a tutor to start from later this month.

I used to think 1500 is pretty much all you need. Then looking at stats recently 75% percentile is 1580 for some schools. My question is: Is 1600 pretty much what top schools expect?

I understand that students take SAT multiple times and it is just the best score that many of these schools consider, so does it make sense to try to improve on it?

It didn't come off as a humble brag. At all. it's an actual concern and  you've every right to ask it. Ignore the poster whose entire identity is sitting on this forum all day being nasty as quickly as possible. What a life that must be.

If the 75th percentile is 1580, it's an insane situation, it is what it is. Personally, I would advise my kid to stop there. But based on the general advice people give to students for schools they really want to go to, it's not unreasonable to try for the 1600.

I would tell my child to now let it go. They are very lucky to be well within range. Now, focus on the rest of the application. Best of luck.[/quote]
