SAT and universities in the USA?

[guest]

Anyone from the USA knows about SAT exams for admission to the universities in the USA by highschool students (for undergraduate study). I know one who got 660 (language, at 91% level) and 700 (math at 94%). What kinds of universities are the scores good for? Middle level or top 12? Whether or not is a Canadian highschool student worth to apply for a university in the USA? Thanks in advance.

SAT 满分是 1600。 1360 大概可以进排名 20 至 50 的大学。
要进TOP 12， 至少需要1480。

Thank you ITConsultant. I got it. However, from the Stanford website (stanford.edu), I find last year admission statistics show that the bottom 25% new students (freshman) with SAT 600-699 for verbal and math. It seems not impossible, but very hard to get in. Anyway, it may be too late this year.

What I said is the average score for admission. For some unpopular majors, the score could be lower.
