Mit told us on a recent visit that they will look at anyone who has a 700 as well. So the difference is what schools would like and what they get to choose from and then who actually shows up in September. MIT will have plenty of 700+ to look at. Virginian Tech, not so much.
American Society of Engineering Education collects data on the test scores of admitted Engineering Majors. For the 2008 academic year the Virginia Tech admitted engineering pool 25% to 75% Math range was 630 to 700. Only 25% of admitted students had math scores in excess of 700. Another 25% had Math SAT below 630.
Before you get discouraged by what college says, or the stats of the applicants, take a look of the stats of those were admitted or who actually enrolled. Each group will have lower and lower stats. Someone with a 700 is probably applying to MIT plus 15 other top schools. They might be admitted to Virgina Tech, but they will enroll at MIT.
