[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With so much talk about colleges that TO, even Dartmouths with only 1/3 submitting as the rest likely scoring under 1450 if they had submitted...which colleges have a majority student body of say 1540 SAT without heavy prepping?

Our DC got 1540 with some self prep and no tutoring. We know she doesn't belong in a MIT, Caltech, Chicago type genius schools full of high scoring geniuses, but so many T30 seem to have at least 1/2 scoring under 1500. Which colleges have majority who could score in mid-1500 without tutoring and superscoring?[/quote]

It’s fair to care about it. Look up pre-TO data and you will find that the median was 1510-1520 at most ivies (cornell and dartmouth were lower) as well as MIT and a couple of other privates back in fall 2020(20-21 datasets). Those students took the tests in 2018 or 19. A 1510 then converts to a 1530 for the 2024 tests and beyond. Now that all the TO bulls%#is over the common data sets will show medians of 1530ish at most ivies and a couple of other top schools. Aim for those if you want majority top scoring peers. [/quote]
