[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

95th percentile isn't middling.[/quote]

It's lower than middlling for highly selective schools like Dartmouth.

1,400 is well below the 25th percentile for Dartmouth.

It's a high score for JMU[/quote]

95th percentile is just that.

Dartmouth states that one can do the work @1400. Remember,  admissions are still holistic. Other factors in admissions.[/quote]

[b]95 percentile doesn't mean anything.[/b]
It's 0-25 percentile for Dartmouth, and it's mostly reserved for athletes, legacy, URM, big donation, celebrities, etc.

It does to Dartmouth. They have made it clear. Feel free to read their findings.

Now, YOU might not like it, but that's ok.[/quote]

It means to you if your kid got 1400.
Read it. it means to Dartmouth only if it's from some kids from places like Harlem. 
And also for athletes, legacy, ig donation, celebrities, etc.[/quote]
