You’ve heard it all before: celebs are people, too, and a lot of them took the SAT just like you did. Of course, SAT scores are confidential, so you’re not likely to find huge ranked lists of celebrities and their respective SAT scores, but still, a few have divulged this private information, and some of them are pretty impressive. Whether they’re perfect, nearly perfect, or downright abysmal, these celebrity SAT scores just might surprise you.
Please note: all of these scores are based out of a maximum possible score of 1600.
Bill O’Reilly
Bill O’Reilly is a famous political commentator, and host of his own show, The O’Reilly Factor, the most-watched cable news TV program on American TV. Although he chose a public high school over a private Catholic boys high school (his friends were at the public school), O’Reilly’s education was not hampered. He scored 1585 out of 1600 on the SAT, nearly a perfect score. That number got him into Marist College, his father’s choice, where he was an honors history major. O’Reilly certainly seemed to be enthusiastic about education, and after receiving his Bachelor of Arts, he went on to earn two master’s degrees: a Master of Arts in Broadcast Journalism from Boston University, and a Master of Public Administration from Harvard.
Bill Gates
Bill Gates’ score of 1590 out of 1600 is certainly amazing, but honestly, it’s not that surprising. Along with Paul Allen (who has a 1600 SAT score), Gates co-founded Microsoft, one of the biggest software companies in the world. He’s one of the best-known entrepreneurs in technology, and is frequently ranked among the world’s most wealthy people. Gates showed promise early on, as he, Allen, and two other students were expelled from school for exploiting bugs in the school’s computer operating system. His excellent score enabled him to get into Harvard, and although he enrolled, worked on algorithms, and spent a lot of time on school computers, he dropped out to work with Allen, ultimately starting their own computer software company.
