Did you have a hook or two?  Were you full-pay?  That doesn't hurt.  [/quote]

No, I bet different generation. Maybe in 70s or early 80s. [/quote]

Mid 2000s[/quote]

hard to believe given sat changed to 2400 pt scale in 2005 but whatever. [/quote]

...it changed back in 2016 to 1600...

...that said another poster is correct my score back then is equivalent to a 1500+ now by percentiles [/quote]

Really?  NP, and sorry for the thread drift, but I'm curious about this.  I'm old - got something like a 1420 or 1430 back in the mid 90s, and got in to both Caltech and MIT (chose Caltech). But I think it was a 790 in math, lower in verbal, so I doubt I would have gotten into any Ivies - didn't try. The numbers I hear today are insane... Are they really the equivalent of my 1420?[/quote]

Yeah sounds about right:

Looks like the 99th percentile drifts up 40 points every 10 years or so[/quote]
