[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our school counselor gaslit my high score DC, basically told DC their high score is treated the same as 1500.  Counselor was an AO at an ivy.  So I guess it’s not helpful.[/quote]

We were told differently by a former AO at an Ivy (1550 plus treated differently) so may depend on the school.  Anecdotally, the kid with the 1600 and cum laude from our private did very well among T10 schools.[/quote]

Look at the Harvard lawsuit. The scoring shows 33-36 was treated the same (!!!!)
It was all of the other factors that matter. And matter A LOT.[/quote]

That data was a long time ago and from old SAT ranges pre 2016. 
It has changed a lot. 
1550+ is usually a slight boost, from our private with counselors who worked at top15 recently. 
More important is the breakdown: the math and reading have to be tops.1550 guarantees that the split is good enough, but a balanced 1520 could be very similar (780M/740v is not that different from 800m/750v), while a 790v and 730m for someone not obviously strongly humanities-talented is not as good. You can pick any major once there; 730m is quite weak. [/quote]
