<p>with “some” exceptions? there are lots of exceptions: there is a minority group that scores in the range 1800-2100 and still gets into Stanford. don’t overestimate the importance of the test – it’s just numbers, and what will matter more is the rest of the app. HOWEVER, an ADMISSIBLE threshold is required, OP. At least a 1900, with 600 or more in each section. To reach a point where test scores don’t matter in admission decisions, you need to score 700 in each section, and about a 2100 in total.</p>
