[quote=Anonymous] If a TO school has, say, a 50% SAT range of 1450-1550, then most kids (all except those with near-perfect GPAs) will likely benefit from submitting any score that's at least 1450. A 1450 score tells just about any school that the student is capable of doing the work and graduating on time, and therefore the score should help in the effort to gain admission. The main reason not to submit anything below a 1450 is that schools don't want to appear less selective year over year, and so any score below their current 25% threshold (in this example, 1450) will bring down their median 50% range and make them appear to have gotten less selective, which is something they want to avoid.[/quote]
