Highest SAT score possible is 2400.
He is now a straight A student, with an SAT score of 2270, at Elmont Memorial High School in Long Island, New York, where he has served as editor-in-chief of his student newspaper and chief executive of the Model United Nations.
That would mean that the lowest his math score could be is 670. Or, about twice that average black score. OK, and he didn't get any help, the way white students are alleged to get? From what I read, in a bunch of articles, this kid got nothing but help, and coaching. But when you think about it, in a 99+% minority high school, the teachers and counselors, probably didn't have that much to do, in regards to helping many other students get into college, so they could devote all their time to him.
His Intel entry: "The Role of PARP-1 in MeHeg-induced Dopaminergic Dysfunction and Mitochondrial DNA Depletion" is mentioned in several article about him, but I couldn't find the full text to analyze anywhere, through several searches. From bits of info in articles about him, it stated that DHA prevents, and improves Alzheimer's Disease. No news there. And that toxins can block the absorption of nutrients in Alzheimer's patients. Again, no news. If he really had made any hew discoveries, they'd be handing him a Nobel Prize by now, because he's black. But a summery of others work, was enough to sneek him into the top 300 in the Intel contest. Intel had complaints, early on, that no blacks were getting into the high ranking in their annual contest, so PC again.
When you think about it, it's not too difficult to understand why he got so many acceptances from Ivy League, and other big name universities. How many blacks could even be made to look as though they are Ivy League material? Of course the universities have to compete to get the few "qualified" black students that are available, to make their quota.
In any case, the kid's path, has been greased for him. I still don't think he did anything special, to get nationwide publicity, except he is black. As I said before: Man Bites Dog Story!
