Does a 2300+ guarantee admission to a top school.

<p>

So if a person were to have a 2300+ and a high GPA (3.9+) and top 1% in their class, are they pretty much guaranteed to be accepted to at least one top school (assuming decent ECs, but nothing special).

It depends how you define “pretty much guaranteed” and “top school.” If you mean 95+% chance and high on USNWR rankings, then the answer would be no for Stanford, MIT, Ivy or other top 20 USNWR. Many of these colleges reject the vast majority of applicants with stats like above. I’d expect the highest rank schools that meet this criteria are Wake Forest, Case Western, Penn State, Rochester, and Georgiatech. I am basing this on historical acceptance rates for similar stat candidates, scatterplots, and Parchment predictions.</p>
