<p>I think many kids with top SAT scores could be from very competitive schools where they did not make top 10%. For example, mine is a top & bottom 5%'er (Top 5% SAT scores / Bottom 5% Class Rank). His junior year class rank was top 27%. So, I believe, would not even have made auto admit if he were not a National Merit semifinalist</p>
