What does it take to score a 2400?

In regards to how much of a role a 2400 plays in getting admitted to top tier schools, the answer would be not much.

Basically, what I’m trying to say is that although a 2400 is a nice addition to your application, it does not guarantee acceptance to highly selective colleges. Nothing does.

</p>

<p>are very different claims, Lain. Obviously, a 2400 does not guarantee acceptance; in fact, no one on here said that it did. </p>

<p>But to employ three anecdotes in claimed support of the fact that a 2400 plays a small role in admittance is logically fallacious. </p>

<p>Even if we allow a small number of anecdotes in as acceptable means of proving a general practice, I don’t see how yours do anything to prove that a 2400 does not help much. Almost anyone could tell you that having a 2100 and alumni parents who schmooze the dean of admissions yields a better chance of acceptance than does having a 2350 and no hook.</p>
