<p>Ivy please respond to my thread if you know what’s up.</p>

437

<p>Jordi and Anticipation16, what’s your race/gender/income?
In fact, everyone should post that. And their GPA.
It’s misleading to just have the score.</p>

<p>but i’m still wondering how differently colleges look at 2100 and over, since I got a 2090.
like, the real difference between a 2090 and a 2100. kind the same as like a 1990 and 2000?</p>

<p>I can see pretty much right through the intention of your question, but nevertheless, I’ll post the info you have requested, in addition to what I have posted before:</p>
