Demigods who score perfect SAT and ACT
Seriously, how rare is this? I did a little search and found three examples. Do people who do this basically get auto-admitted to their first-choice school? I have this weird habit of browsing through amazing stats and test score just to be depressed.

well.. if you can pull off a perfect score on the sat wouldn't it stand to reason you could do the same on the act?

perfect scores still don't guarantee any admission

Actually one of my friends got a perfect score on the SAT but was deferred from Yale, but she's at Harvard now.

its not THAT hard to get a perfect score, but those people getting 1500+ at age 8 and already operating are really geniuses.

Unfortunately, the SAT is just the SAT and the ACT is just the ACT.

Wait... if you got a perfect score on one, why would you even bother taking the other?!
