[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1490 would never get in from our private because that would be a second or third tier kid and Duke only takes top tier kids.  From our school they require a 1560+.  Your school and mileage may vary. you really have to look at your school's stats.  [/quote]

That’s not true at DC’s school. Multiple acceptances with SAT at 1500, and many rejections with SAT over 1550.

Exactly the point.  Check your school's stats.  1490 is 50th percentile at ours.  no one admitted unhooked to Duke with under a 1550 in 4 years and 100% of the class takes the test and submits scores.  At another high school 1490 may be the top scorer in 4 years. 
Duke wants top kids at the level of Harvard and Stanford (from our school--again this may vary). [/quote]

My point was that the SAT score is not a good predictor for acceptance to Duke at our school. Yes, the kid has to be in the top 20 percent of the class. But beyond that, it’s about lots of other things. [/quote]
This is true at our public HS also - most the SAT's of accepted students are well below the 25% percentile. High school average also low.[/quote]
