[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than schools like Caltech?

I have looked at our Naviance, I don’t see a pattern where high test scores help admissions.  There is always a healthy distribution of test scores for top schools.

Someone mentioned in the other thread that they help in Michigan admissions.  What is your observation at your school? [/quote]

Every point on the SAT matters.  There is no point where it stops mattering.  There is research on this and there is no question about this.  Recently MIT claimed they did not differentiate between a 1580 and a 1600 but but did differentiate between a 1580 and a 1570.

There are 1000 perfect scores every year, 20,000 over 1510 but there are over 25,000 spots at Ivy+

The SAT is not enough to get you in and a lot of 1550's go to state school but your chance continues to improve with higher SAT scores

The last sentence is probably very close to truth.  [/quote]
