<p>I’ll dig up this thread in May, if I find out where he ends up.</p>
<p>You also have to know the kid’s GPA. A kid at the local high school got a 2400, but was somewhat of a slacker and didn’t have top grades. He did will, but didn’t get into the most selective schools.</p>
<p>Gee, I wonder if he’s on Naviance. Should be easy to pick him out!</p>
<p>This kid was one of four valedictorians in the class and gave the speech at graduation tonight. He’s going to Harvard.</p>
<p>Pretty impressive. I know a couple of kids that got a perfect SAT at one sitting, but I don’t know their other scores. However, I was most impressed with a kid from our son’s school who got an 800 on the SAT in the math section…in the fifth grade.</p>
<p>Wow!! What amazing stories. I hope they choose to do great things with all their brilliance :)</p>
<p>I couldn’t find the article in the link, but you can get a 800 on the writing section with a 10/12 on the essay. Can also get an 800 with a 9 on the essay. D did…lucky curve.</p>

<p>I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say they had to “settle” for Harvard.</p>
<p>I had a good friend in high school who did this: [Detroit</a> high school junior receives perfect score on SAT, ACT, and PSAT - Los Angeles college bound | Examiner.com](<a href=“http://www.examiner.com/article/detroit-high-school-junior-receives-perfect-score-on-sat-act-and-psat]Detroit”>http://www.examiner.com/article/detroit-high-school-junior-receives-perfect-score-on-sat-act-and-psat)</p>
<p>She was also runner up junior miss Michigan. Go figure :p. She is one of the nicest, most humble people I’ve ever had the pleasure of being friends with.</p>
<p>Besides being class president, he was also on the debate, golf and tennis teams.</p>
<p>Here is another link to the original article:</p>

<p>I hope this thread helps to dispel the notion that super-high scorers are just “test-taking drones” that are otherwise uninteresting.</p>
