Addressing a Few Concerns

<p>A score of 2200 begins the 99th percentile and a score of 2300 is approximately at the 99.5 percentile. But due to the exponential increase of admission chances as SAT scores approach the 2400-mark, there is a greater probability discrepancy between a 2300- and 2400-student than there is between a 2200- and 2300-student, which in turn is a greater disparity than between a 2250- and a 2150-student (2150 essentially begins the 98th percentile). But we can observe that these gaps essentially recede once we reach below the 98th percentile at the three institutions previously referenced (but this admission behavior can likely also be observed at other elite universities). MIT is an exception in this case since it appears to not engage in the same complex form of admission strategy as Harvard or Princeton. MIT does, however, demonstrate the same uniform escalating preference for high-achieving SAT students. It is just that this increase begins at the 94th percentile.</p>
