<p>Someone noted,“All through your life, people will ask you what your SAT score was”</p>
<p>Response: I laughed at this one. As an adult, if anyone started spouting off their SATs without prior prompting from someone, I, and most other folks, would consider that person an anti-social jerk. To this day, I don’t have a clue of the SAt scores of almost everyone I have met. It just isn’t polite to discuss or even mention unless we were talking about requirements to get into a specific school.</p>
<p>As for being in the top 10% or having lower SATs that seem to be skewed, remember private school do have a leg up in geting their kids into most top schools. The thinking is that parents of private school kids won’t need financial aid! There is a thread on this that was publised about a year or two ago. Search the forums for this topic.</p>
