<p>I was just curious, if colleges saw that you took the SAT 5 times and got a 2400 each of those times, what would they think?</p>
<p>They would think you have a lot of money to waste. </p>
<p>Actually, if you got a 2400 five times that would be really impressive, some people luck into 2400s because of the curve and probably couldn't consistently get a 2400.</p>
<p>LOL when I saw this thread I thought here we go again...</p>
<p>I think that would look amazing :P</p>
<p>Holy crap you are a genius. I wish I was as smart as you. Pfft your 5 2400s destroy my 2180.</p>
<p>^^^^ I think it was a hypothetical? I doubt s/he actually received 5 2400s.</p>
<p>I think that they would construe you (one to receive such scores) as a pompous with oodles of extra money. If that was the only thing you'd have, then they'd wonder as to why you'd not have applied yourself better.</p>
<p>I think that getting a 2400 (or 36 ACT) mostly comes as a "fluke," so getting a perfect score 5 times in a row would only prove that you have way too much disposable income and time. Obviously, you're smart, but that could be shown by just one 2400.</p>
<p>I think you would bust your tail off and it woudnt help one bit.</p>
<p>To my understanding the way it works with a superscore is that 1) all your scores get sent to a school 2) some stooge in the addmissions office looks at it and records your highest scores on each section on a piece of paper 3) paper gets sent to the people who make your fate </p>
<p>I dont think they would ever know that you took ti more than once</p>
<p>What would happen if every single person who took the SAT got a 2400?</p>
<p>If everyone got a 2400, the test would be too easy and the test would be made more difficult and the curves would become ultra-harsh. It'd be recentering, only to the left.</p>
<p>To the person who thought I got 5 2400s, it was a hypothetical question. I got a 2210 and was extremely happy about that, and there's no way I would ever retake a 2400.</p>
<p>I was thinking about it some more, and I would imagine that colleges would think that you cheated or something...</p>
<p>Also, colleges are sent your complete SAT record with all your SAT tests. Even if they only care about your highest scores, they actually do see every score you got. So they would see that you have 5 2400s, or 15 800s.</p>
<p>all i have to say is absolutely ridiculous. beyond the point of no need.</p>
<p>I've heard of someone that retook a 2400, I don't know what score he got after that but yeah. I'd imagine that it would very well hurt you because it just proves to the admissions staff that you are the literal manifestation of a showoff grade whore.</p>
<p>or it could show you that you're a very motivated student and will try again for a 2400, just to prove that you've got the skillz and smartz to take on college</p>
<p>If you got a 2400, but so did everyone else, what would the percentile that you get be?</p>
<p>^ 99th percentile I guess... </p>
<p>If everyone had the same GPA out of 300, you would still be considered 1/300.</p>
<p>Hmm, wouldn't it be 1st percentile? Since percentile rank tells you how many people scored better than?</p>
<p>to a previous question...</p>
<p>if everybody got a 2400 and you did to, your percentile would be like 0% (if thats possible) because you did better than 0% of people</p>
<p>Well, college board reports such low percentiles as "1-", so on the score report, it'd just say 1...</p>
<p>I would think that a student who took the SAT several more times after getting a 2400 was some kind of a kook.</p>
<p>guys , calm down with the 1%s... lol</p>
