OT, Lizzie, ,RE: an SAT score of 1206 is not exactly brilliant GV. I mean really, most public high school students score better than that, and people who come from priviledge have an advantage.

Sorry, Lizzie, but you're wrong.

Back in '68, an SAT score of 1206 would place President Bush more than 1 standard deviation above the then mean of around 900. He placed in the 88th percentile, according to the Boston Globe. President Bush's SAT score would place him comfortably above the mean for your alma mater, too (remember, this was prior to recentering of a decade ago).

One thing you did happen to get right, people who come from privilege do indeed have an advantage.

an SAT score of 1206 is not exactly brilliant... You can't get hired at most Silicon Valley companies with Bush's credentials...

A Yale undergrad with a Harvard MBA might open more Silicon Valley doors than you'd like to admit. But what's really bothersome to some is that the candidate with the higher SAT scores won the election. (Kerry had 1190 on his SATs.)
