I had a 1360 SAT and flunked out of college at the end of the first year. Three years later I took the LSAT. I was still either a freshman or barely a sophomore ( took classes at a CC and at the old school as a non-matriculated student until I could transfer), and I am pretty sure it was a 165. That's not a 168 or 169, but it was in the 93rd percentile ( presumably among people who were actually going to graduate college and go to law school) and was a qualifying score for MENSA. I never did graduate, though I have taken classes on and off forever. My career GPA was right around 2.0 from 5 different schools. I did get a AA, but that's worthless. At the time I just liked actually finishing something.
My friend got a 700. He ended up graduating from the school I started at. It was not easy to get into. It wasnt exactly a big deal- A highly respected state University, though. My friend went to community college until he could transfer with a 2.0 and graduated like 8 years later. He has a degree and I don't.
There are a lot of people with high SATs who don't do well in college. And there are those who are barely literate who make it through. Extreme examples, but I think generally SAT is overrated- depending on what you are trying to rate.
