<p>This is ridiculous. You should always aim for a 2400 - that’s the best score, why not aim for it? A college is never going to reject you <em>because</em> you got a 2400. You hear stories about people with 2400s getting rejected because the 2400 was all they had (or there was something negative in the application, or whatever). That doesn’t mean a 2400 is bad, it means a 2400 by itself isn’t going to get you in - you need to be an awesome applicant to get in. </p>

<p>Again, simply ridiculous. Colleges don’t reject people just to be random, that makes no sense. They want to admit the best class they possibly can. This means rejecting many people with stellar scores who have nothing else to contribute to the school. It just seems random to people on CC, because we don’t see the whole story that the ad com does.</p>
