[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1300 SAT in 1986.  Straight As.  Went to Duke
Daughter got 690 V, 680 M - had two months of 1:1 tutoring last summer.  [/quote]

Elite/ivies had mid-50 score ranges (25th to 75th) of about 90th to 98th%ile in the early 90s. Now(pre-TO) have 98-99th %ile as the 25-75Th %ile. In other words, the general range of UVA these days is about the range of ivies back then. Why? There are more kids applying all over not just their region; US is bigger schools are not, and internationals. My kid went to a different elite than i did and they put up pre-test-optional data at parents weekend fall ‘22 showing us: 3/4 of the undergrads now are similar to the top 1/4 from the 90s.
There is a reason for the grade inflation: they are a brighter bunch at ivies now. Of course most should make B+ and above. And most should get into med and law, they do not need to “weed out” much. They said that. And they do have higher success rates with med and law, more than they did in the 90s.[/quote]

You would have to use the percentile translation that applied at that time.[/quote]
