<p>Well, being an international, nothing happened for me. My friend in Seattle was written up in local papers though.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Did he or she contact the papers? It’s not as if the College Board alerts the media; my guidance counselor doesn’t even know my score.</p>
<p>^Don’t you have a 2400? And yes, the people would have had to contact them themselves, or someone who heard about it did.</p>
<p>I’m surprised your guidance councilor doesn’t know about that, considering there are only 200 or so per senior class every year nationwide that get a 2400.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, I haven’t seen a reason to tell her, and that would be the only way that she could find out.</p>
<p>Oh ok. At my school all test scores are on the transcript, so they notice when a score is really high.</p>
<p>^ Only the ACT score from the administration in a couple weeks will appear on my transcript.</p>
<p>That seems weird, all that’s on the front of mine is the highest ACT(my school worships it pretty much) and everything(even the PLAN and all 4 of my ACTs) is on the back.</p>
<p>silverturtle, I think counselors find out on their own because CB sends them automatically. However, I feel that you should let him/her know. It’s about time you got recognition for getting that kind of score.</p>

<p>Do you log onto collegeboard every once in a while to view your score of 2400?
I know I would look at it every once in a while(or every day). LOL</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No. 
I haven’t looked at it since the day scores came out.</p>
<p>
I find that extremely amusing, a newspaper article for a perfect SAT Score? Our school usually expects 2-3 2400 single-sittings a year, and nothing more than a few congratulatory remarks from classmates are given to those who receive it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>While I, too, find it odd for there to be newspaper articles written about it, your school is not indicative of the norm.</p>
<p>^Our school district has never had a 2400. We’ve had a 2400 at a magnet school, but it doesn’t fall under our district even though he went to a district middle school. I hope to stop the drought of 2400. :)</p>
<p>How exactly would you know if someone in your district ever received a perfect score?</p>
<p>Naviance, GC’s, word of mouth etc.</p>
<p>The media in some communities enjoy recognizing perfect standardized test scores or high achievements by precocious children. But the College Board itself, of course, does not issue a press release. I obtained that score though very few in my school are actually aware of it. But recently, due to a bit of success in the admissions process, a few have expressed curiosity regarding my specific qualifications.</p>
