Maybe people should actually read what I post. For those who didn’t:

I KNOW IT ISN’T BAD. I WANTED PEOPLE TO READ THE THREAD.

I also know that the odds are against me getting into Harvard, but why not try and get a better SAT score to help my odds? That’s why I posted this topic, to get an opinion on that.

tokenadult: What you said about admissions officers not knowing is what bugs me. I mean, maybe if I had studied I could have gotten a 2400, or even just higher than I did. They won’t know the difference between someone who paid loads of money for a private tutor and someone who just plain took the stupid test without studying. That’s one reason why the SAT is so unfair–test prep can make a huge difference in your score. So it’s not really measuring how smart you are in some cases, just how prepared you are.
