Wow. I can't imagine that happening at your standard public school nowadays. What high school did you go to?

Most people will take their SAT at the beginning of their Junior year. This way they have ample time to retake if they're not happy with their scores.

Stanford, MIT, and the Ivies see the SAT as more of a threshold score. I.E. there's not much difference between a 2300 and a 2400. As long as you have above a certain range, you should be fine. The SAT doesn't make or break people.

I'm guessing Shalin is aiming for MIT, Stanford, and schools of their ilk. These fall under "high-end private schools".

I second this. Summers should not be spent studying for the SAT.

Also, a good internship will look much better on a college app than a few extra points.

Are there any specific books you recommend?

Isn't this what DRM is?

The picture in the article is confusing me. What's going on with his hand?

So then is a 2.1 considered impressive?

Is the 2.1 number you refer to a GPA? What's it out of?

What is a "red brick"?
