<p>i know one person who got a 36 and like 4 who got a 2400 but that is it.</p>
<p>what kind of screwy school do you go to? Stuyvesant? </p>
<p>i dont know anyone who go either (i know someone who got a 2380 and someone else who got a 2370 but thats it...maybe a few 34s...) </p>
<p>but it seems to me that most people respect the SATs more than the ACTs so if a person knows that he or she is in the running for a 2400 on the SATs why would they even both taking the ACTs?</p>
<p>no. i wish i was that privileged to go there. i go to a school which sends about 2 kids to ivies annually. it's people i know from other schools.</p>
<p>I saw one person in the news who did, can't fine/remember it though</p>
<p>was is that polish guy who came here in the 7th grade and got accepted into everywhere except MIT?</p>
<p>nah, it wasn't him</p>
<p>I know one person with a 36..and nobody with a 2400
I think I know someone who got 2350ish ..but she's in another state haha!
I actually don't think I know anyone FOR SURE that got a 2300+ in my school...</p>

<p>As i recall... you scored very high on the SAT. So maybe you just respect the SAT's format more than ACT's. I never took the ACT's, but I did miserably on the SAT Math section when I was in HS (some 30 years ago) and yet the verbal? Slam dunk and it was a lot more arbitrary back then. The truth is, (and I read this somewhere but cannot recall where) that the new SAT actually lines up slightly more with the ACT than it used to, especially now that it includes writing. So who respects whom? IMHO, Seems to me you don't imitate or try to be more ilke someone or something with less clout or relevance.</p>
<p>Three girls in the SAME high school in Minnesota got a 36 on the ACT and a 1600 on the former two-section SAT in the same year. That high school always has some amazing students.</p>
<p>Peak standard scores on either test number only in the hundreds worldwide: </p>

<p>in it he says (first post) he got 2400 after 4 tries and got 36 on ACT twice</p>
<p>Too bad i dont believe him</p>
<p>a guy at my school did..this kids is freakishly smart..everyone at our school considers him God</p>
<p>If you get a 2400 or a 36, can you be on the local news? I remember seeing like two people in different states who got a 36 and were on the news. This kid I know from my school (he graduated in '08) got a 36, but I don't know if he was or not. Do you think so? Because that would be really cool.</p>
<p>By the way, is 2400 respected more than a 36?</p>
<p>^yes, you can get more wrong on the ACT and still get a 36.</p>
<p>Our valedictorian got both a 2400 and a 36. </p>
<p>I, on the other hand, have neither a 2400 nor a 36. :(</p>
<p>I know someone who skipped a grade in high school (finished in 3 years), was valedictorian, received a 2400 on the SAT TWICE, took it a third time a scored a 2200. Accepted by Harvard, Yale...the whole shebang.
This person has decided not to go to college. May be a genius, but my friend has horrible to no common sense. Also makes other really stupid decisions on a daily basis. It makes me sad. Such a waste.</p>
