There seem to be different fields of thought:

770+ will be a large advantage to any school (include HYPS). Near equivilent of 800.

750+ is probably the same as above, but not as close to being an 800.

700+ will be an advantage at most schools, and will not hurt you at any.

600s can be low for the top schools in the nation.

500s will probably be low for all schools that require the SAT IIs, as they have more standards for admission. But it may not hurt applicants at many mid-level schools.

490 and below. Unlike the SAT I, this is not the 50% area, but significantly lower. If you need these tests to get in, and don’t have wonderful other factors, study and retake.
