[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can tell from our naviance that 1520 and up kids get into HYP. No real difference btw red and green in that zone. Still lots more red[/quote]

DP: but the ones who got in could be legacy with lower score [/quote]

Or it could be that with all the time they saved by not being test bots, they did more productive things that enhanced their appeal.[/quote]

Stop assuming that every kid who has high test did it through hours and hours of personal tutoring and multiple re-takes. Some kids really are just that naturally high scorers with no prep. And are also the ones with high grades. amd the ones that learn fast enough to maintain the high grades and have time to pursue extracurriculars at a high level. [/quote]

That's why one sitting matters (contrary to many here).

If a kid gets in the range of 1580-1600 one and done, it's very very hard for AOs not to notice that remarkable score.  [/quote]

Wrong because almost every school (except CMU and Georgetown) doesn't even see that remarkable score.[/quote]

On the Common App you report the date(s) the test was taken and then next to verbal and math you report the dates those scores are from, so the school does know if the aggregate score is a one and done or not[/quote]
