Care to elaborate on how you reached such a conclusion and why you chose to separate the effects of a retake on admissions to S from admissions to HYP?
Obviously there would be a degree of disappointment, but a 2390 is still a higher score than a 2360 and thus some gain was accomplished.
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. I’m pretty sure that any college, even the likes of HYPSMC, would regard a perfect score with some degree of novelty.</p>
