[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just for some perspective, for posters who think that everyone on DCUM has a high stats student. A score of 1550 plus is earned by just 6000 students (out of 2.3 million). The number of students with such a high SAT score and a perfect GPA is likely even smaller. If there are say 4000 or so truly high stats students, it is odd that admissions to a top 20 school is a crapshoot. 
It makes you wonder whether academic merit is valued by the top colleges

I like how the link says that if you raise your score by 50 points (to a perfect 1600) it doesn’t change your admission chances at all.  And this link is [b]from a company selling test prep[/b]. [/quote]

Yes, it makes perfect sense that saying "if you raise your score by 50 points (to a perfect 1600) it doesn’t change your admission chances at all" is from a company selling test prep because they cannot help you to improve from 1550 to 1600.
