<p>Is it true that Yale can't resist a 2400?</p>
<p>No, it's not true. One of my good friends with a 2400 was waitlisted (then rejected), though he got into MIT.</p>
<p>2400's have a 50% acceptance rate at Yale and about a 33% chance at Harvard. Two girls at my school with perfect SAT's both got into both. Of course, people with 2400's usually do exceptionally well in school because if anything, the score is indicative more of a willingness to work than any congenital genius.</p>
<p>Kids with 2400 SATs or 36 ACTs, as a whole population group, fare better in admission process. However, this is NOT that the perfect score CAUSES admission, but rather, those with perfect scores generally do well in ECs and other things as well (relating to work ethics, intellectual capabilities, etc, like the last poster mentioned). So that 50% admission rate is by no means causational, but correlational.</p>
<p>I thought that I read somewhere that Harvard rejects 1 in 4 2400's... doesn't that mean they have a 75% acceptance rate? I agree with the above 2 posters, by the way; 2400's are nice, but generally people that have them have a lot of other stuff going for them too.</p>
