[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SAT is such an overrated measure, as in, the expectation that every school have like a 1500+ average SAT. Here's some historical averages from 2012 of various schools:
Amherst College                                                1320-1530 
California Institute of Technology                        1460-1590  
Columbia University, Columbia College                1400-1570  
Dartmouth College                                            1350-1560  
Georgetown University                                      1290-1490   
Harvard University                                            1390-1590 
Johns Hopkins University                                   1310-1510  
Massachusetts Institute of Technology                1410-1570  
Stanford University                                           1360-1550 
University of California, Berkeley                        1250-1510  
University of California, Los Angeles                   1170-1430  
Williams College.                                              1310-1530  [/quote]

The SAT was scored harder then. I’m not sure where your 1600 scale scores are from but it wasn’t a proportional concordance. A 2300 SAT then is a 1560 now , a 2160 was the start of 1500, and a 1980 was the start of a 1400. Most elite schools had test quartiles from 20XX-23XX, and medians of late 21XX to mid 22XX (corresponding to 1500-1530 today). So not much has changed.

The test was even harder before that when it used to be on the 1600 scale. A 1350 was competitive for every top school. [/quote]
