Mmm, what is exactly the definition of “plenty”? I’m sure they see a good number of perfect scorers, to the point where they won’t be jumping out of their chair out of sheer admiration for the 2400 or anything similar - they’ll probably see the 2400, mentally note that you’re a good test taker, then move on to examine the other parts of your application.



With roughly 300 2400 scorers per graduating class and around 1.6 million total testers in said class, those with a 2400 represent ~0.000188% of the total testing seniors in any given year.



On the other hand, what percentage of those 1.6 million testers actually apply to the same schools as those 300 perfect scorers?
