<p>E dad, not disagreeing with what M2K says about top schools for the most part not giving merit aid, and not sure why you’ve suggested I am, since I’ve said nothing of the sort. In fact, the OP seems already well aware of this. But I am amused by the notion that top schools would not be impressed with a 2380 single-sitting SAT score. According to the SAT data tables, there were less than 1,000 kids that scored at this level for a single sitting last year. Pretty select company, even for top prestigious schools.</p>
