Stanford could fill their entering class with kids who had perfect scores on their SATs and still have plenty with perfect scores left over. Just nitpicking - this cannot be true [1]. Stanford enrollments per year are in the 2,000 range, while perfect SAT scores are just in the low hundreds. And not all students with perfect scores apply to Stanford. ------ [1] I know, you could construct some weird scenario where one year class would collect people from many years, but let's keep it realistic.
