I attended elementary, middle school and high school in Georgia. Our valedictorian, who made a 1500 on her SAT, was a GENUIS. No SAT prep, no tutoring. If you attended public schools in the wealthy Northeast and made a 1500, you are definitely very, very smart, but your school is probably worth 100 to 200 points. Sorry if this offends you.
