^^ Advice from the man himself: [Guidance Office: Answers From Harvard’s Dean, Part 2 - NYTimes.com](Guidance Office: Answers From Harvard's Dean, Part 2 - The New York Times)

“With the SAT, small differences of 50 or 100 points or more have no significant effect on admissions decisions. Standardized tests are most useful to us in the decision-making process when they are extremely high or low—and even then many other factors come into play.”

If William Fitzsimmons saw a kid retake the SAT after scoring a 2370, he might question a student’s sanity. As he said in another interview: http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/27/ideal-grad/

"I want to know, what is it this person does beside chew gum and produce good grades or scores?”
