It may be for Cornell, which is, for some of its schools, a land grant college for the state of New York.

The other day I calculated the median SAT scores for the Ivies, Stanford and a couple of top LACs.

They ran from 2245 (Harvard) to about 2165. The spread was only about 80 points top to bottom. HYPS cluster together in a 20-30 point band. Brown, Dartmouth, Amherst and Williams are next, etc.

Given that, I think that 2100+ gives you a fighting chance, all other things being equal. At 1900, I think one is out of range, if you are not in a special category or have some phenomenal hook.
