I did exceptionally well. I still received as many rejections as acceptances.
At my school I meet people with perfect and near-perfect scores. Some are true geniuses. Most studied hard and had $$ for Princeton Review or Kaplan.
My girlfriend scored in the bottom 20% or so of people at my school. (She had neither the money nor the time to do SAT-prep, and used her time for much more fulfilling artistic pursuits) Her GPA is probably in the top 25% here.
I don't really understand what the point of SAT is if you can alter your score so dramatically through targetted preparation.
