Re: D.J. Davis
It's out of 2400 these days, though. I mean I'm not trying to knock him at all, It's still a good score, but whenever one sees a "1400 SAT score" they will probably think it's a perfect score.MFRDuckFan wrote:I would have killed for a 1400 on my SAT.

Re: D.J. Davis
More significant is that, with a 4.0 GPA, Davis only needed to score 400 in order to qualify under NCAA Clearinghouse rules.

Don't forget Rachel Maddow. The first openly gay Rhodes Scholar, and currently the only reason to watch MSNBC.

Re: D.J. Davis
You can actually watch that channel. I really can't stand any of the political pundits on any of the TV stations since you are getting the extreme of positions and not really any middle ground.Hoagduck wrote:Don't forget Rachel Maddow.

Re: D.J. Davis
How recent was that change though? I know it was still 1600 when I took it some 6-7 years ago. So possibly Davis took it before it changed to 2400. Not that it really matters, just wondering. I didn't realize it had actually changed.

Re: D.J. Davis
As a D-1 athlete, the writing portion of the SAT is not considered when determining NCAA eligibility. Thus the max score would have been 1600.
