Will a 1520 SAT completely destroy my chances?

<p>“Your post suggests you don’t understand how athletics work.”</p>

<p>Do you mean me? Asking for a link means I don’t know how athletics work? Could be, but I was under the impression that Duke and Stanford could attract very good athletes with SAT’s 1500 or better. My D goes to Duke, and I have followed the basketball team somewhat for the last three years. It have also followed admissions of Stanford athletes. Most seem to be capable of at least average (500/section) SAT scores. </p>

<p>I have also read about kids taking the test over and over, and still not being able to meet some SAT standard. Is there no such thing?</p>

<p>I am open to learning; that’s why it asked far a link,</p>
