^Yeah, I agree. It’s not that I’m dismissing what Piper’s saying, as she obviously has a point and is trying to dispel the CC notion that scores are everything. But mathematically, there can’t possibly be a point where scores don’t matter, and then there not existing a cutoff. It’s contradictory. And obviously, there isn’t a cutoff, so…

NOT saying you should retake a 790. Or a 750. Or even a 700. It’s just that saying “above a certain score doesn’t matter at all” is a little bit extreme in the other direction.
