<p>@kameron, @Omega:</p>
<p>That’s precisely my point. Such studies aren’t particularly interesting because they can’t separate subjective variables out when examining acceptance rates for students. Of course 2400 kids are more likely to be admitted than 2300 kids or 2200 kids; they’re probably the ones (or the ones with the parents) who are more pushed to do well grade-wise and develop an extracurricular life as well.
And for the top schools, since so many kids have stellar numbers, the subjective elements inevitably prevail. Which is a shame for these studies</p>
<p>And for @kameron: I was referencing my subject tests and AP scores</p>
<p>I still wouldn’t recommend retaking it since it will be very difficult to go up (at your level of performance and with the system by which the SAT is graded, you could very easily go down based on silly mistakes or fatigue).
Either way, be happy!</p>
