Met a guy named Ray at a coffee shop in Tacoma about 8 years ago... he told me he bought his first house with a 580 credit score.

Sounds like a different time for sure. That score wouldn't get you a second look now, probably. Wild how much it's changed.

Oh man, this reminds me of my friend's dad. He got into a really good engineering school back in the late 70s with an SAT score that he says was just okay. He told us the story once and we were all shocked. He said he just showed up, took the test once with no prep, and that was that. His exact score would basically be a dealbreaker now for the same program. It's crazy to think about how much the goalposts have moved.

Wait, no prep at all? That's wild, @emma_garcia. The whole game is different now.
