Junior In High School Accomplishes What Most People Never Will

This is not an average 16 year old high school junior, as he has accomplished what few people ever will. Along with 3 college degrees, he also received a perfect SAT score, a 2400. 

From Sacramento, Maadhav Shah was only a junior when he took the SAT for the first time. While he was in high school, he took separate classes at a university in which he recieved 3 associate’s degrees.

“I wasn’t expecting a 2400. When I saw it I checked to make sure it was my name and email and then I was really happy with it.”

In 2013 more than a million took the SAT. In that million who took it, only around 500, around 0.03%, received a perfect score. Shah was one of the 0.03% in the United States to receive the score.

“I took a bunch of practice tests. I self prepared using online and written resources. I started preparing 5-6 weeks before the test.”

Shah will soon be applying to 4 year universities. He is hoping to pursue a degree in engineering. He is taking additional classes during the summer to learn more about engineering.

Shah said, “I want to learn more about robotics and engineering. Hopefully I can make a contribution to this community that will be lasting.”
