<p>It is sad that the prestigious merit of a 2400 has been deflated because there are so many applicants with perfect scores. I’m applying to many of the nation’s top universities, and I’m rather worried. I don’t even have a 2400 on my SAT exam. :-\ A friend of mine (sophomore) is already studying obsessively. He’s salutatorian of his class (currently) and wants a perfect score on the SAT, which seems so banal now. (For the top-level applicants, anyway.)</p>
