[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chances are if you scored above 1530, you are going to one of these colleges:

Two things have always confused me about that post.

Michigan has the second-largest group of high scoring students, and it’s not close. Penn and Michigan both have over 900, while the next schools have under 600. Yet unlike all the other schools, the total for Michigan isn’t bolded.

Also, there is no cited source and the numbers appear to be, at best, back-of-the-napkin estimations.[/quote]

I think one thing this list highlights is how many high scoring students there are across many schools, not just top 10.

Also how misleading “sat rates” are at schools - when for so many such as Princeton, only 50% even submitted an SAT score!  …and of those, only about half scored over 1530.  So, yes, not many kids compared to a Michigan or the like.  If a kid gets shut out of their top hope, they are likely still to find similarly scoring kids at other Universities. [/quote]
