<p>I bet you if everyone with a 2400 retook the test, a large chunk of them would not score 2400 again. Most would probably get high 2300s, but not 2400. Unless you’re a supergenius, you have to be having a good day to get that many questions right without missing a single one; everyone makes mistakes.</p>

<p>True, but not everyone who takes the SAT applies to HYPSM. If they did, Harvard’s acceptance rate would be much lower than it already is.</p>
<p>I would consider admittance to HYPSM much more prestigious because it takes a lot more to get in than doing well on a test. I’m not saying SAT scores don’t mean anything, but being intelligent isn’t the only think that matters, nor is the SAT a perfect measure of intelligence.</p>
