[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read the article - it suggests 1400 AND being from an inner city high school or school lacking resources would get in. But NOT an upper middle class DCUM DS or DD with a 1400. Point being if you managed a 1400 without out all the resources and benefits you probably have the grit and intellect to hold your own.

So go to a crap high school and get a middling score will be the new playbook?[/quote]

1400 is not a middling score.

Do you people know anything about standardized tests?[/quote]

It's a middling score for selective schools. 
It's probably high score for 3000+ other  schools.
Do you know anything about college admissions?[/quote]
No it isn’t. Historically that was a score that a number of admits had, or around that score. A 1400 is 95th percentile. A 1500 is 98 percentile, fyi. A 95 percentile score shows you can likely manage the work at an Ivy. [/quote]

Nope sorry.
1,400 is well below the 25th percentile for Dartmouth and other Ivies and highly selective schools.  
It's not even middling. It's a low score for highly selective scores probably from athletes, URMs, legacies, etc.
