[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost every school admits by scores if you are clearly above that school's 75%ile. But some schools have 75%ile so high that you can't be clearly above it. [/quote] I so hope there is truth to this….[/quote] It’s true as far as it goes, I suspect, but there are some caveats. First, test optional has disconnected that 75% figure from reality. At one nationally-prestigious university we toured, the test-optional percentage was 40%, so that 75th percentile was calculated from the top 60% of the admitted students. The specifics depend on what you assume about the distribution of scores, but it all cashes out to this: yes, if your scores are higher than 90% of the admitted student body, your chances are reasonably good. Second, the elite SLACs in particular are a crap shoot no matter your scores due to very small class sizes and a perversely subjective admissions process.[/quote]
