<p>We can only interpolate the data from the graphs, as in any strict analysis, and data suggests exponential increase in chance of getting into Elite schools as scores approach 2400. </p>
<p>In terms of EC, is a student with a 2400 really going to be much more spectacular than one with a 2300, or even a 2250? One would think not…</p>
<p>SO the problem clearly has nothing to do with EC as much as test score because EC will be of roughly equal caliber. This suggests at the top of the pool, aiming for perfection is optimal.</p>
<p>I guess what im trying to point out is the exponential scarcity of high scores. Being able to claim that you are one of 250 kids with a 2400 is a lot more impressive than being one of 7000 kids with a 2300+.</p>
