<p>Amherst has said they are going to try to enroll more kids from the lower economic strata.</p>
<p>I think I put up two anecdotes on the thread. Obviously, the famous people one is a pretty low data point. </p>
<p>The Berkeley student one, was representative of the lower students they take with low SAT scores. The link had quite a large sample. It was informative to me. </p>
<p>I’m not apologizing for that one at all.</p>
<p>Actually, I’m not apologizing for the famous people one either. My guess is a lot of famous people have lower SAT scores than a lot of students in college. </p>
<p>Tarhunt, maybe you can extend your study to include people in every day life. Hundreds of random people. Can you tell their SAT scores?</p>
<p>I never read the book, “the Millionaire Next Door”, or whatever the title is :), but I believe it is stated in the book that the average millionaire has an average SAT score around 1180.</p>
<p>I’m not saying every millionaire is smart, but there is a correlation between kids from wealthy families and SAT scores, and I llike that data point about millionaires too. :)</p>
