Hunt

I know this is the kind of thread that can be annoying, so I apologize in advance. I ask because I suspect some folks here may have had the same issue. My son is a junior in a magnet program, and is a good student with good although not perfect grades. My guess is that his peers would think that he is a good student, but might not identify him as among the brightest. So here's the thing: he took the SAT in March and got 2390. Who, if anyone, should he tell? So far, he hasn't told any of his friends. He's concerned that it will just cause stress, competition, and hard feelings if he tells. On the other hand, we are wondering whether letting the information out might help him in terms of the perceptions that teachers and peers have of him, with respect to recommendations, etc. Plus, of course, a part of him would like for other people to know, for purely selfish reasons.
So, what happens when a high scorer reveals the info to peers?
