<p>Yo, Celebrian..My counselor was like trying to convince me colleges prefer the ACT now..(not just midwestern ones). But then again, she isn't exactly informed...although, she showed me this article...</p>
<p>meh SAT in may...blah,</p>
<p>SO are all these high scores mostly from private schools? I go to public and got 2220 and that's probably one of the highest scores...</p>
<p>na, the highest score at my public school was a 2390</p>
<p>I'm from a public school, so no, high scores aren't limited to private schools.</p>
<p>I go to an average public school, not one of those really good might as well be private school schools.</p>
<p>how is the world did you score this high? any advice? i'm still probably only in the 2200's... it is sad :( again, advice?? and how is MIT? i love that school!!!</p>
<p>I find many of these posts hard to believe. One of the NY papers, forget which one, has an article today that there were only 2 perfect scores in NYC. One from Hunter College HS and another from Bronx HS of science. No mention of any from Sty, but a poster here claims a bunch of kids from Sty got perfect scores.
Also, there were only 107 in the whole country, but it seems like everyone here either got a perfect score or knows someone who did. It just doesn't add up.
BTW..aside from perfect scores, scores can't really be judged until the percentiles are released. What may have been the 95th % on the old, may be the 99th on the new or vice versa.
I personally know 5 very smart kids from competitive high schools who got lower scores on the new test. If that turns out to be the norm, then the percentiles will be much higher. A 750M on the old test may end up being the same as a 700M on the new.</p>
<p>Do colleges let you mix and match scores from the old SAT and new SAT? Because on the new SAT I got a 2290 (800 math, 800 writing, 690 critical reading) but got a 730 on my critical reading on the old SAT. Can my composite be a 2330 or no?</p>
<p>FAKEOUT</p>
<p>107 of 300,000 nail 800 on each of three sections in revamped test</p>
<p>this according to the College Board.</p>
<p>n California, 24 students had perfect scores of 2400. In New York state, 11 did.</p>
<p>f the 1.4 million 2004 high school graduates who took the old SAT, 939 scored a then-perfect 1600, according to Brian O'Reilly, the College Board's executive director of SAT information services.</p>
<p>yankeegirl49, you have to remember that CC obviously does not represent the general population...People on CC are (stereotyping I know) overacheivers/perfectionist, and they are serious about their goals. It is very possible that ALL of the people who have said they received a perfect score infact did. It's also possible that some have lied...possible, but unlikely.</p>
<p>To have a "handful at one school" seems highly unlikely, given the 107 in the country...jsut a thought : )</p>
<p>well, only Ivybound said that...he may be lying...or maybe by "handful" he means 2-3...</p>
<p>I'm not doubting all the posters, but I can bet my bottom dollar at least a few are lying. Yes, cc is higher than the norm, but there are more than a few overachivers who've never been to this site.</p>
<p>107 in country,
24 in california and
11 in New York State,
7 in Mass.</p>
<p>So almost 40% came from 3 states alone. wow. That's amazing.</p>
<p>40% from three states...according to the New York State papers, two got a perfect 2400 from NYC, but never mentioned Stuy....</p>
<p>Since we don't have information on the other states, all those that got a 2400, can you tell us what state you are from? That would be interesting.</p>
<p>I got a 1600!!!!</p>
<p>Oh wait....</p>
