I don't know what "800 minus noise" means. All 800s is something only about 500 people achieve a year, and not all of them are going to MIT.

800 on the math section is something a ton of people get. Way way more than 500. More like ten thousand per year, maybe more.
I thought you meant 800 across the categories.
I should have figured that was your assumption when you had the 500 number in your reply. Dumb on my part.
