[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
Chicago is not like that anymore. It is 75% ED kids who did not have a realistic chance at ivies. Naviance shows the scores are lower than the kids who get in ivies. HW school shows the same pattern, and Groton, and many other top privates[/quote]

+1 it’s because they are test optional and started gaming the system for rankings. THREE rounds of ED (0, 1 and 2). Other than Hopkins, I don’t think any of the other T10s or Ivies have more than 1 round of ED (or are SCEA). [/quote]

Dumping on UChicago seems to be a sport around here! Since this thread is about test scores, numbers don’t lie. Even though UChicago is test optional (and has been since before covid), 76 percent of students submit ACT or SAT scores. The median SAT is 1540. [/quote]
