I believe the SAT has changed a lot since I took them in the late 60s. Back then, a total of 1270 might get you into a junior or community college, but it would not be enough for a major university. O course, these days many requirements have been lowered to assure "diversity." I think part of Piggy Boy's problem might be that he is a white male. Someone of the right gender, race, ethnicity and such might be admitted with a 1270 SAT score, but not the little white pipsqueak.
