<p>So how much does a good score really matter? I know it won’t in any way guarantee an automatic admission, but will having a perfect score make up for lousy ECs? I ask because I have a 2400 on the SAT I (not superscored), and a 36 for my ACT composite score, but my ECs suck so much I might as well leave that section of the app blank…</p>
<p>So to reiterate, to what extent can good standardized test scores compensate for seriously sucky ECs?</p>
