[quote=Anonymous]"Doesn't count for what? This shows that the kids who did best at that test that day, inarguably bright students, attend these colleges. There are bright kids everywhere. You do not need to go to Harvard to be in class with other really bright people." Not really. The odds of having classmates with high SAT scores at Stanford is much higher than at Bama. If you're using the SAT scores of freshman to assess how "bright" enrolled students are, you should use the median SAT score, not the raw number or share of people scoring at the very top. Schools like MIT will only admit applicants who are capable of doing well on standardized tests. They're selecting from among people with strong scores. You can't get in without them. In contrast, the vast majority of students at a school like Bama will not have strong SAT scores. [/quote]
