I mean, I didn't. I get what you're saying but the idea that you can just "work hard" to get into these sorts of institutions feels kind of insulting when there are lots of people like me that did work hard but didn't get in.
- forrestthewoods 6y agoI don’t know your situation. Even a perfect 1600 isn’t enough by itself to get you into top 5 schools. https://blog.prepscholar.com/sat-scores-for-colleges https://blog.prepscholar.com/sat-scores-for-colleges The highest average SAT score at the top schools is right around 1500. I’m not saying a 1500 will get you into Harvard. It won’t. But it will get you into a very good school. University of Washington is a great school. It’s average SAT score is just 1340. 75th percentile is 1460. 1500 is literally top 2% of score distribution. For most circumstances that should get most people into a top 5% school. (Top 5%, not Top 5).
