Reading the Stanford article, the thing that struck me the most was this:

“69 percent of Stanford’s applicants over the past five years with SATs of 2400—the highest score possible—didn’t get in.”

I know it’s more than “just the numbers”, but I find it incredible that this many perfect scores could be rejected by one school. It has to hurt.
