Which colleges love the 2400?

<p>I know all colleges do–but I’ve heard that some ivies like Princeton pay special attention to the perfect score. I’m just wondering, are there any other colleges in the same vein? Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m sure that any state school would be thrilled to see a 2400.</p>

<p>^ To add on: I’m pretty sure most any school, period, would be thrilled to see a 2400.</p>

<p>Princeton seems to value this a lot; caltech would also value this alongside
demonstrated interest in science & math. Chances of getting admitted to
Yale and Harvard are better than the typical 1 in every 14 students- not
sure how much better. (Getting a Presidental Scholar award seems to be
high match with those who have (prior to that honor) been admitted by Harvard
though - and that corelates highly with a top SAT score)</p>

<p>I think 2350+ kids without perfect grades who get shut down at Ivies tend to very well in Duke admissions, at least based on results from my high school.</p>

<p>Sweet. I’m a 2400 ss with a 3.69.</p>

7

<p>I back Princeton as well, though it also requires respectable academic performance.</p>

8

<p>Colleges that don’t see many applicants with the score. When the 75th percentil scores are 790 in every section as they are at Princeton, that school isn’t going to get too excited.</p>

<p>I don’t know about Princeton. Kid in my dd’s school this year had a 2400 and very high GPA (well over 4.0 W), but lacking in ECs - rejected from HYP. Got into Tufts, Northwestern, Georgetown, Amherst, Williams…</p>
