Chance Me for UPenn/MIT/CMU

According to the College Board… which actually scores the SAT… 1520 is the 99th percentile mark going in to this year.

95th percentile is 1430.

As I said, 1500+ is still extremely rare. Even though 1500+ scorers are over represented on forums like this.
In 2021, 1.5 million students took the SAT. That means only 15,000 scored 1520 or higher. (Still probably about 20,000 over 1500)

While a high percentage of Cornell admitted students have SAT over 1500… the majority of their applicants do not.
