My NMF doesn’t have it on her resume even for REUs in college. Maybe Intel finalist or gold medal world team on something like USABO if you were doing a science CV.

Regarding SAT scores, yes, some companies do ask for it on their applications (I was asked by consulting companies back in the 80s for this). And I think it is still asked for by some companies. So have it handy if you are filling out apps, but I would not put it on the resume. No one ever asked for my HS GPA, though. College GPA is asked for sometimes.

You don’t even leave much college accomplishment on the resume once you are in the working world. Phi Beta Kappa would be one that I’d keep for good. And of course research experience or internships that are relevant, until you have enough “real” world stuff to drop them. GPA if it is good for a little while, but after a couple of years it isn’t relevant.
