<p>^^I know a couple people at Dartmouth with SAT scores in that range. Two were highly valued recruits where the team average counts (a couple of 2300+ recruits and that one 1800 is in), but the other is a friend who never did well on standardized tests, but is brilliant and talented. And Dartmouth looked at the well documented issue with standardized tests, looked at the applicant as a whole, and accepted her.</p>
