<p>“So much Asian kids got rejected with 2400s. Even if you are not Asian, the score cannot guarantee you anything (some say a 2300+ could surely get you into a top20, which I have no idea).”</p>
<p>That’s what I’m talking about.</p>
<p>Contrary to random popular belief, a 2400 alone is not gonna get you into the top school. Lots of top schools reject students with 2400.</p>
<p>It’s better to have good grades, stand-out extracurriculars/competitions, and excellent essays/rec letters than a 2400 SAT and 36 ACT score.</p>
