Are there top/near-top colleges that weigh test scores more than others? Or do test scores carry the same weight at all colleges?
MIT and Caltech are two schools that come to mind that place a greater emphasis on test scores, especially math.
@anxiousenior1 That’s what I would think as well, but I had fairly decent test scores and got deferred at MIT and rejected at Caltech.

Both schools can fill their classes several times over with people who have outstanding test scores. They may weight them more than other schools, but great test scores isn’t a sufficient condition for admission to either school.
