<p>We know the 99th %ile for total test-taker population breaks about 2220. We see from looking at the general SAT data tables that a balanced 2250 score of 750/750/750 places one in 98th %ile in all 3 subsections. If AA population is similar, then a balanced score that places them in 98th %ile for AA in all 3 subsections might be close to their 99th %ile composite break. That would be about 650/650/650 = 1950 .</p>

<p>gibby, if an article says a student scored in the top 1%, that does not extrapolate to mean he is on the lower edge of that 1%. Clearly his score is well within that top 1%, almost surely in 99th+.</p>

<p>Here are average SAT scores of Harvard freshmen by race. AA = 2107, W = 2233, Asian/Indian = 2299.
