I got an 1170 on the SAT, with a 660 in Math.
And yes they did tighten up their standards a lot which was unfortunate. According to my Dad everyone that went to HS in Ohio went to Ohio State back in his day.
I also think being out of state actually hurt my cause. Given that OSU is so big they don't really have room for outsiders that don't have a 3.5+ GPA
Ever since they changed the SAT scores I really have no idea what's considered good anymore. That's why I posted my ACT score. I don't even remember what I got on the SAT. Granted that was about 7 years ago now. And yeah, they tightened up admissions when I was applying there. People the year before me got in with crap grades and mediocre scores. When I applied a lot more people got rejected as they raised their standards.
During my college application experience I found that essays and test scores carried more weight than my grades. I mean my grades weren't terrible but they weren't good. I also had a lot of extracurriculars that made for great essay topics. I got into schools that friends of mine didn't get in to even though they had better grades.
