[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAT was different in the 80s. Harder. You rarely heard people hitting 1400+ SAT. I remember 1200-1300 was a solid SAT score in the 80s (put you in play anywhere). So the score report doesn't mean much...BUT--yes it is much more selective everywhere due to common app, number of applicants (not as many people went onto 4-year colleges), holistic approach and test optional.[/quote] ^ the test was very different. The dumbed parts of it down over time.[/quote] 1500 meant you were a genius and 1600 was rare. Now, so many on DCUM scoring over 1500 (which I take with a grain of salt) So many taking prep courses which were not a thing back in the day. I remember typing my applications for each school on a typewriter and using correction tape. I applied to 4 and got into 4 schools that I would not get into present day. [/quote]
