Also, I think the bar keeps rising as to what constitutes a perfect score application. Lately, it's the 2400 + 36 + multiple 800s on subject tests.
Is there evidence of this? I believe there are very, very few students who score both a 2400 and a 36. Tokenadult, are you out there? The vast majority of students who score perfectly on either test probably don't bother to take the other. (There may be two exceptions: homeschooled students who need to flesh out their credentials and ACT 36 scorers who need to take the SAT for NMF verification.) I don't believe colleges are playing games when they say they want EITHER the ACT OR the SAT I. A perfect score on either test (assuming it's coupled with perfect SAT II scores) certainly creates a "perfect score application."
