<p>Scaled scores of 2290 and above were at the highest reported percentile level (“99+” in College Board terminology) on that table. The comparable figures for class of 2009 will come out in August if College Board follows its usual schedule. </p>
<p>P.S. Participant danas brings up the issue of a student who has no grades (some homeschoolers would present that case, as would a few applicants from unconventional high schools). Most colleges that report admission rates by class rank level are reporting those for students who were EXPLICITLY ranked by their high schools. Quite a few high schools do not explicitly rank students (although the Common Application Secondary School Report still allows inferences about how a student ranks in a class without explicit rank, if the counselor fills it out in the requested manner), so it may be that some number of students have neither a grade average nor a class rank officially in view as they apply to college.</p>
