<p>thanks guys...about the middle 50%, is that a good number to look at? I mean, should I strive to match the numbers of the AVERAGE student in that school? Wouldn't that just make my application the same as anyone elses?</p>

<p>Always strive to be in the top 25% number-wise. However, it's not the end of the world if your SAT score is in the mid 50%; just make sure that your essays, recs, etc make up for it.</p>
