^Agree.
I think people have an over-awed view of the kinds of scores people at top schools get.

For example: “Unless you’re applying to MIT where something like the top 60% of of students have an 800 math.”

If I were to randomly poll 10 people from those I know at MIT I doubt 6 of them would have 800’s. I would venture more like 3-4 (unless I’m polling from east campus ha)…maybe I should actually try this…
