I take back what I said before, as I was referring to NY rules not CT, I failed to remember that they varied by state.

Reading the CT rules, first off - Verbal scores count double math scores so an SAT of 780 verbal, 800 math = 2360, while 800 verbal, 770 math = 2370 so all of a sudden, you don’t have the highest SAT score in the county (obviously this isn’t valid if you had an 800 verbal).

Also they count class rank as double the value of SAT scores and most people would consider 1/300 a better rank than 1/100 because there’s more competition.
