<p>^^ And that is the most important point. The OP’s question is answered very clearly by the numbers. </p>
<p>OP, the one thing to realize is colleges cannot invent applicants; they must deal with the applicants they have. The bar simply cannot be the same for all applicant groups because not all applicants groups are the same. Your goal should be to get scores within the range of your applicant group. Anything else is a waste of your time trying to figure out because you must first clear the standardized test score hurdle and also get an acceptable AI score, for your applicant group, before your application is taken in full.</p>
<p>Good luck and put your best foot forward!</p>
