^^ I think things may have changed somewhat since that article (roughly 3 years ago).



Fair enough. Then consider the following PDF I pulled from the CDS. In particular, consider page 8, which seems to indicate to me that, for the 2006-2007 academic year, the 25th percentile of enrolled Berkeley freshmen who reported scores had an SAT score of 1780. Hence, if that’s the 25th percentile, then it would seem to me that a significant fraction (i.e. maybe 15-20%) of enrolled students would have scores of 1700 or less.

Unfortunately, I can’t get the 2007-2008 data, probably because it is still being compiled, but I rather doubt that the numbers would radically shift in just a single year.
