<p>sjmom2329, yes, you’re right in the overall context. I’m not trying to diminish anything. I was just trying to give a more realistic range and caution against focusing too narrowly on one line of SAT data. Add in high ACT scores and the number of qualified candidates seeking a narrow number of slots goes up (acknowledging overlaps of course).</p>
<p>It was eye-opening for my S to see the full percentile ranges. He was well served to focus on his apps rather than on some notion of how special he was.</p>
