<p>While at a friend’s house, my friend mentioned that a 760 on Physics was bad because that was in the 80th%. When I told her that it was a good score and adcoms wouldn’t see the percentile ranking, she told me that adcoms would. Is she right? Because that would be baddddd. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE.</p>
<p>Yes they could see it if they wanted because its public information.

<p>Ah, okay, but short of looking it up, they don’t actually see the percentile attached to the score correct? 750+ is good enough for the top-tier institutions? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>yeah
700+ is good except for certain language tests. For example, a 760 is 26th percentile for Chinese and 27th for Korean.</p>
<p>Okay, great!</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch.</p>
<p>Something to note.</p>
<p>In my D’s school…I JUST found out that ANY scores you have sent to the school get placed on your transcript. They send them to colleges right along with your entire transcript. I had no IDEA! From what I can see online of my daughter’s transcript…they do already have her ACT/SAT and SAT II scores ALL posted. And … right next to the score…is a place for “national percentage”. Hers isn’t filled out yet, I don’t know if they just don’t have them yet, or it’s just a software option they don’t use. But…don’t assume they won’t see the percentage/percentile. However, it’s NOT a secret. They know what they’re looking at.</p>
