[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On college confidential there was a black kid in Texas endlessly bragging about getting into every top 20 college (only rejected from Stanford) a few months back.

https://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/2021582-chance-me-for-ivy.html

He only had a 32 on the ACT and SAT II scores super mediocre. No Asian or white kid with his stats would get into even 1 top 20 college. On top of that he's going for 100% free to Harvard.[/quote]

32 is 98%tile. What's your issue??[/quote]

Exactly, so literally 200,000 kids scored higher than him on the ACT/SAT.[/quote]

Around 2 million students take the test each year (up in recent years)

2% of 2 million is 40,000, not 200,000, right?

Also that's the number that scored [b]equal[/b] or better.

a 33 is a 99th % -- so only 20,000 kids scored better, not 200,000.

This is the part where you say "Typo" (except explain the comma).

By the way, the kid also had a 33 superscore.

36	2,760	
35	12,386	
34	20,499	
33	26,920
32	33,115

= 95,680 ACT scores better than or equal to his 32

+ over 100,000 converted SAT scores equivalent or better than a 32 ACT

= over 200,000 students each year
[/quote]

With the law of diminishing return when it comes to IQ the 32's and 33's may make better students... btw. [/quote]
