I was told by my low income peer group that you get 600 points just for filling out your name on the SAT and that 800 points could get you into a great school like MIT.

The minimum score for the SAT if you do nothing is 400, not 600.

Average SAT Score of admitted students: 1525

OK, but that doesn't mean they were told otherwise. That's part of the point of the story - they were negligently prepared.
