I do wonder to what extent it is high school and college-dependent. For instance, looking at my son’s Naviance scattergrams, in the last three years, Harvard did not accept anyone with 1600, only a couple of people with 1590 and a whole bunch with 1560-1570 (with a comparable GPA), while UMichigan, has not rejected anyone with 1590-1600. So, for his school, it seems like it makes no difference for Harvard, but may for Michigan.
