I got a 1410.. math slightly higher than verbal. Don't remember the exact scores, but I'd guess it's 690 and 720. Currently going to UC San Diego.

[EDIT - I remember now, it had to be 690 verbal since 700 was the cutoff to get into the honors program at my university]

Also took the SAT IIs - got a 790 on the Math2c, 700 on Verbal, 700 on Writing.

Just as a note, in 7th grade I took the SATs as part of this program, and got a 1090. 1100 was the cutoff for this scholarship... bastards. It's a little scary though that me as a 7th grader did better on the SATs than the average high school student (it's weighted so that a 1000 is the average score).

[EDIT #2]
Just as an added note, for universities like Cal Tech, the MEDIAN score among incoming freshman is a 1600. For those who don't follow, that means that over half the people who go to the school got a 1600. Talk about competition! I didn't even bother applying to Cal Tech.
