So you are saying that most colleges will use the concordance table that College Board has put out, regardless of the fact that it's not rooted in reality?

And how does it change where students should focus their time? Do top 20 colleges somehow see a 34 differently than a 32 because of the new table?

^^No, I did not say that. And, I didn't say the second either.

But, since you asked....is a 34 viewed differently than a 32? IMO, absolutely; it was yesterday and it will be tomorrow. Take a look-see at the merit cutoffs for UMiami. A 34 puts one in contention for a full tuition scholarship. A 32 puts one in contention for for $24k, which is great, but not as great as 100% tuition. A 31 contends for a $16k annual scholarship. So, yes, one more point can matter for a lot of $$, (just like one more point on the psat).

Is it viewed differently "because of the new table"? Nope.
