[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Yale admissions podcast comes out and says what one poster above said: once a kid crosses a threshold--I think it was 710 or 720 per section--they are done with the SAT portion and don't think about it anymore. The quality of everything else in the app is what matters after that. I think a lot of people here are trying to make a 1590 matter a lot more than it actually does relative to low 1500s.[/quote] Here’s the thing (and it’s what we told our kids): if you are unhooked- 25%-threshold is not going to get you in. You need to be 75% minimum. That’s reality. They will say holistic blah blah—-but that’s not for UMC or wealthy kids. Those kids have to be on the tippy tippy top on scores and grades. You re-take to get above the 34, etc. People will tell you it’s not needed- but you need to control what you can control. [/quote]
