@Southoftheriver it is not a continuous variable. Using what was disclosed in the Harvard case, the likelihood of moving from a 2 to a 1 rating by increasing from a 780 to 800 is very low. Harvard themselves say that “ Professor Card’s statistical analysis shows that the students most likely to be admitted to
Harvard are those that do well across the profile and school support ratings, rather than merely excelling on just one rating.” This is what most posters are saying. Increasing the SAT Math 2 isn’t likely to impact admissions. It is more likely that the other dimensions will be the deciding factor. Getting in on academics alone requires WAY more than an 800 on the test.
