[quote=Anonymous]If memory serves me, about 1,500 kids every year score 2400 on the three part SAT.  If you exclude the highly subjective and not particularly correlated writing section, as the Presidential Scolars Program does, you End up with well in excess of 3,000 with 1600 on M+R (this is a rough guess and the actual number could be higher).  SAT's market share has steadily declined, with close to half of graduating seniors choosing the ACT instead.  There is probably some overlap between the two pools, but not much (why would you bother taking the ACT if you got 1600 on M+R SAT?).  So, we can probably assume at least 4,000 kids with perfect (not close to perfect, but perfect) board scores (combined tests) as measured by PSP.  With CA as large as it is (14-15% of US population) and the Top 40 plus ties rule, it is almost a mathematical certainty that the qualifying SAT score for CA was 1600. It is also highly likely for any populous state, with 1580/1590 as the only other likely outcomes.[/quote]
