I say this in the nicest way possible: instant decline. Please don't be this cringe.
That score would likely translate to all of the normal shit that firms ask for.
Unless it is legitimately the highest possible score, it will just make people think you're a weirdo.
Its not literally the highest possible but if its >150 and the rest of your app contains social proof that you're not a dweeb then is it that bad?
