[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are roughly 2 million SAT takers and 1.4 million ACT takers.  A proportion take both. 
 
Assuming there are 3 million test takers. 1% yields 30,000 who are in the 99th percentile.

With superscoring, that number at least doubles, so one is looking at 60,000 students scoring in the 99th percentile.[/quote]

About 60k, I agree , probably more, at 1510+ or 34 which is about the 99th%ile. That is more than enough to fill all T15 freshman classes. Because each takes about 25% under that due to institutional needs and hooks, and recently all the TO BS, the 99th percenters spread to many more schools, but are only a majority at the topmost schools.

1510 was, last year, 97th-98th percentile and it doesn't really matter at all. 1510 is a GREAT result and kids with 1510 are competitive everywhere. Also,  the thread was about the T20 not the T15. Also, also, why do people keep coming up with their own numbers when College Board tells you exactly how many there were????[/quote]
