<p>The OP was wondering which “top” schools put a lot of emphasis on SAT scores. Assuming his definition of “top” includes all universities in the “top 20” national university list, I have a question for Sarah’sDad:</p>
<p>If a student with a very high SAT I score, e.g. 2380, applied to MIT as well as Vanderbilt or Rice or Emory, which school is more likely to give a larger relative weight to the SAT I score? </p>
<p>Your list of top SAT I score schools probably reflects the records of the applicant pool more than the priorities of the admissions committees.</p>
