ACT : 34 , SAT was only a 1450 super score

Well enough to go to my state university for free and in the honors program. However those scores were a long time ago , before they made it considerably easier

It's fairly impressive if those scores are from before 1995. The re-centering really screwed up the numbers quite a bit.

From the mid 2010s , so not as impressive as i'd hope for- regardless i got me to a pretty good career.

I did have a friend who perfect scored the ACT and the SAT and was a national merit scholar due to his test scores - the dude was unbearably smart. He actually became a national celebrity due to his IMO accolades

I wish i could perform like that

34 ACT and 2340 SAT back in 2010. I was also a national merit finalist and took 9 AP tests, including all 3 physics exams, BC calculus, chemistry, and stats. Averaged 4.5 across all of them. I was a decent athlete too and ran one of the top 50 fastest high school 5k times in Ohio that year. Varsity cross country, tennis, and track.

It's pretty telling none of the DEI admits want to post their stuff.

NTA, but there was a rework of the SAT in 2016 when I took it and it seemed pretty easy

When I took it back in 2007, I was under the influence and haven't eaten for two days, and I still managed to score 1500 in non-writing sections.
I can't believe how much they are watering everything down just to placate actual double digit IQ DEI admits.

I had a bit of a shaky start after finishing a degree in physics and applied math but in the past few years things have been turning around and I've got some exciting things in the pipeline now. Stay tuned.

Why would they need to? So I can go to university with people inferior to me? That was going to happen no matter what.

They really kicked off the psychological profiling in Ivy League admissions since early 2000s. I've seen many normal, qualified and competitive peers being rejected, while more ambitious diversity candidates gain acceptance because of the unAmerican political agenda they implemented. They really screen you for compliance as opposed to merit, and admit only those with politically correct alignment that best suits the purposes of whoever is funding the endowment and sitting on the Board of Trustees.

White, male applicants in the lower family income bracket especially got shafted because the agenda setters see that particular demographic as the most dangerous threat to the unAmerican policies they set in motion.
Agenda setters vary in flavor and background, but there are as many traitorous and self-serving crowd in the mix as any diversity appointees.

The number 1 priority is getting rid of malicious diversity crowd in higher education admissions, teaching, and admin positions as soon as possible. The fact that plantation mentality can run deep on both sides of the isle is something malicious third world and chinese communist elements can take advantage of in order to ruin the country as they are doing now. Those demographics in particular have a sense of impunity from loosening of traditional consequences of their actions, as well as social norms and cultures that encourage deception, manipulation, and usurpation as the norm of climbing up the social ladder.
People have to become lucid and self-aware in order to counter the subversion efforts, and also take into account how their personal circumstances can adversely affect their own judgement as well as any efforts to oust the subversives.
One of the key element in the current dynamic is that people who are against the malicious entrenched interests might be mistaking their own positions as being disenfranchised or in the fringes. This is not only false, it's a dangerously unhealthy and weak position to put yourself in. If people can't get past this dynamic personally, they need to work with people among themselves and in the wider all-American population who are. Approaching the entrenched enemies only from the position of rebellious insurgents isn't really most advantageous move you can make, when people are much more than what the plantation politic dynamic bounds them to.
