The SATs were originally designed to predict a high school student's freshman year performance. However, when colleges started to compile and publish statistics on their students, parents and others began to associate SAT scores with the quality of the college.
I'll just say this: just because a college or university reports that its students have high SAT scores doesn't make the students brilliant or the school a place only for geniuses. It doesn't mean that the school is higher quality than a school reporting lower average SAT scores for its students. And most importantly, the school might not be the right school for you.
