Research for Match/Safety

<p>how does one take out the hooked scores from the average (or what do you do?) Is it just a random estimate or what?
I didn't know hooked were near 50% at top colleges, I always assumed around 25%...That's good to know.
How much higher should my SATs be? (I'm taking them on Saturday, wish me luck!!)
I'm not at a top 25 HS (though my magnet would be top 10 if it were considered alone) mine is <em>goes and looks it up</em> ranked 166
I would love to find less popular schools that offer what I want. Less popular would mean smaller and easier to get into, but I can't find one with good both CS, english + foreign language programs.</p>
