I agree, gibby, that all of the subjective areas of an application are more important to the selection processes of the ultra-selective schools. However, there is definitely a significant advantage that a 36 has over, say, a 33, even if it’s just the ability to say, “I got a 36/2400.”

The acceptance rates for perfect scorers have to be much higher than regular ones…right? I’d imagine, even for the likes of HYPS, etc., that the acceptance rates for 36s and 2400s hovers between 20% and 30%. I may be completely wrong (and it’s also comforting to think that, seeing as I’m fairly confident I got a 36 on the ACT this past Saturday).
