<p>2300? Please. I am so intelligent that I have managed a 2500 on my SATs. Out of 1600.</p>
<p>Realistically, SAT scores are one fraction of the overall college application picture. As long as one gets a 2250 or higher, the difference in scores matters very little. (This is why the cutoff for National Merit Scholarship for PSATs tends to hover around 224- this is the range where the top 1% lie.)</p>
<p>It is also extremely disturbing that people are now attempting to sequester themselves into exclusivity by using SAT scores. I mean, dear lord. How many people have asked those in truly exclusive academic groupings- Nobel, Fields, Wolf Prize winners, Professors Emeritii, etc.- what their SAT scores were? I highly doubt that anyone is interested in what Weinberg, Feynman, Greene, Glashow, Gell-Mann, Yunus, Friedman, or Smoot got on their scores.</p>
<p>Eightfold Way, and all other critics, it comes down to this:</p>
<p>We like to stroke our egos.</p>
<p>It's pointless to criticize us--no matter how useless or insignificant SATs are in the real world or even admissions after a certain point (because I completely agree with you, they are), people that got 2300 or above some way are generally going to enjoy opportunities to stroke their egos. I know I do, and it'd be hard to make me feel otherwise.</p>

<p>a professional? a professional what? a professional stupid guy? YEAH!</p>
<p>Relax and have fun with a thread? I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. Brag? Sure. But I REALLY don't see the connection to relaxing or having fun.</p>
<p>bragging is fun and being in the club is reassuring since you will most likely have a stronger chance of getting in compare to a person in the 2000s area. </p>
<p>im sorry, i was originally a person in the 1900 area, so a jump into this club makes me happy. </p>
<p>however, 2300+ does not guarantee you the schools- that would be stupid to assume that.</p>
<p>I love how among the insecure college-obsessed CC kids, the post caled "2300 club" is seriously the most popular thread. This is so funny to see.</p>

<p>I do. We're enjoying the satisfaction of our accomplishment with our like. Thus we are relaxing our minds from the grip of the SATs. It makes sense. Plus, it's nice to have a place to be proud of here, instead of the typical worried posts.</p>
