I teach at the college level...I can’t imagine any parent wanting to send their kids to such schools.

Several years ago, I had a student who claimed to have (1) made less than 500 on the SAT and (2) been accepted to a college.

I can't imagine a college accepting such a student, but apparently some colleges will do anything for those tuition dollars.

“I had a student who claimed to have (1) made less than 500 on the SAT and (2) been accepted to a college.”

If the 500 is a total, I’ll have to agree.

Most college students have total math and verbal of 1000-1100. The good ones are over 1200. Since the scores were upped by about 50 points, a 1100 isn’t what it used to be. I can’t recall the last time I got a student with higher than 550 on math.
