[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIT dean of admission said don't bother to retake if over 1550.[/quote] Link/source? So if they have two identical students, one with 1560 and one with 1600, they roll a die? Or they take the 1600? Do they prescreen with a cutoff, and then drop the score from consideration?[/quote] I can’t easily find the quote — it was Stuart Schmuel (sp?) saying that some applicants become obsessed with scoring a 1600, wasting time, emery, and money taking the test over and over. He said any score above 1550 doesn’t make a difference so don’t bother. He was NOT saying that admissions decisions were tied in a strict linear way to SAT score — rather, the opposite. [/quote]
