[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would take again - for some schools there is a minimum cutoff of 1520 to even have application read, even though they don't say that online

There is no such cutoff anywhere in the US.[/quote]

Of course there is. First step is the apps are culled by a computer algorithm that of course have a baseline SAT/GPA. No school is reading 60k applications individually.

Back to the original question.
Kid took SAT got 1530 first try. Wanted to take again to try to get a perfect score (they did not prep for the 1530) -- mom and dads advice was don't study for retake ... spend time enjoying your senior year of high school!![/quote]

You are missing the point.  Yes, everyone here knows that schools trash thousands of applications that clearly fall below their academic standards.  But PP is saying that the cutoff is at 1520.  What school has a cutoff at 1520?  I don't believe that exists.  Dartmouth is extremely selective and their reporting shows that kids who are from under-resourced areas but still manage to score 1400 or above should submit their scores.

1520 is way too high of a threshold for any school.[/quote]
