[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It absolutely matters for the most selective schools. There is so little distinction between an abundance of perfect candidates that anything distinctive matters.

AOs know it is much harder to score a 1560 in a single sitting versus as a superscore.

Beyond the top tier of schools, any high score is exceptional regardless of the manner it is achieved. [/quote]

They aren’t using this as a distinction. My son was accepted REA, unhooked to a HYP with a 1540 superscore. I’m sure he got in over thousands of kids with 1600s in one sitting.

It’s just not a distinction the AOs are making.

He will have a chance to look at his admissions file this spring and I’ll be happy to share what’s mentioned. I guarantee the SAT won’t be a focal point. [/quote]

There aren't thousands of 1600s.  
More full scores nowadays, but still very few.[/quote]

You get my point. There are kids with 1550+ in one sitting who were rejected while my unhooked kid was admitted. The one sitting just doesn’t matter. [/quote]
