<p>Alright, so I've heard repeatedly that schools like the Ivies, Standford and U of Chicago will regularly reject 1500/2300+ and even perfect scores.</p>
<p>Does this apply to the other schools a notch below? Or do those schools jump at these students, perhaps hoping to up their SAT statistics? Say Tufts, Georgetown or Boston College - is someone scoring upper 700s on all three parts looking pretty much in off the bat?</p>
<p>Well I know that if you live in California, and you are in the top 9% of high school graduates, the UC schools give you free admission.</p>

<p>Free admission to UCs like Merced and Riverside</p>
<p>@Rush10: I know students who were given free admission to UCs like Davis</p>
<p>No, you will not get in on SAT scores alone. GPA, rigor, ECs are all important. They get plenty of the top scoring applicants, too.</p>
