<p>It seems like the average SAT score here is around 1500...that is pretty high. What about for Chicago?</p>
<p>You can find this information at College Board's site, at UChicago's admissions site, and in UChicago's prospectus.</p>
<p>Average scores are usually meaningless, as they are skewed too high at good schools. But the middle 50% is (I believe) 1340-1510, around. So figure an average or median in the 1400s.</p>
<p>its 1300-1510 when I checked collegeboard.com
do they demand higher SAT scores from good schools and do they have less demand for high scores for not so good schools? I hope they do because my 1410 is my senior class's highest (over 200 kids). Haha, no joke either. My friend got into UPenn with 1360 and my other two friends got into Johns Hopkin with high 1200's (but they are really good football players) so I hope my 1410 will hold up here as well. I admit that all the 1560's here is a bit scary.</p>
<p>interestingly enough, and despite much of the hype, SAT scores do not seem quite as relevant as they are made out to be. case in point, a friend of mine got into MIT with a SAT 2 writing score that just broke 500 - and his other SAT 2s weren't phenomenal. looks like the admission process is more complicated than that :)</p>
<p>this is not a bad thing, though - i'm not a big fan of the get-so-many-marks-and-get-admitted procedure.</p>
<p>btw, my friend was RSI, however...(and boy, was his paper brilliant)</p>
<p>Dean O'Neill and other adcoms have been quite verbal about their wariness to depend too heavily on standardized test scores...and if you look at the early acceptees and just poke around (or at least, in my poking around), you'll notice that people have been deferred and rejected with a myriad of test scores, sometimes higher than acceptees, sometimes lower. According to most college-related websites and UChicago brochures, the median is around 1430, and the middle 50% is indeed 1340 to 1510. So basically, it's like any other Tier 1 school, I guess.</p>
