For an interesting read, suggest to look at Ivy+ Admission Analytics for the Fox Parent by Vasavada. I read it a few years ago, and the author delves deeply into the odds of admission based on objective measures like SAT. It is written from a economists perspective, so it is heavy on probability and Bayes theorem.

But Vasavada’s essential point is that a perfect 1600 is quite rare. So he argues that it is beneficial. Not sure I agree, but I thought I’d put it out there for discussion.
