You seem to be ignoring my posts and instead replying to things I did not say. I did not say test scores were very important. In fact, my earlier post explicitly stated, "Note that I am not saying having SAT scores this high is required for admission or even that having high SAT scores is very important… </p>

I’ve graduated. As mentioned in other posts, I was admitted to Stanford, MIT, and ivies as a prospective engineering major with an 800 math and 500 verbal. If you look at my post history, I’m often the first person to say that high scores are not mandatory for admission to selective colleges, and test scores are only a small part of admission decisions at many highly selective, holistic colleges. However, this does mean scores above 2250 or some other threshold are all equivalent, as stated in the original post that I replied to that triggered this tangent.</p>
