<p>geez
remember, YOU ARE NOT YOUR TEST SCORE (according to a college commercial that is broadcast where i live)</p>
<p>magicmonkey07 </p>
<p>To make a blanket statement that if you have a high GPA and lower SAT scores then your school inflates grades is ridiculous. </p>
<p>My GPA is slightly higher in comparison than my SAT scores but I take advanced classes in arguably the most elite school in the state. </p>
<p>You make it seem that working incredibly hard for 4 years is meaningless if you don't score 2400 on one test. Think of how many tests you take your entie span of high school. The reason why colleges put 5 times as much weight on GPA is because there are no GPA tutors or prep books that you can memorize. In theory, if your school is hard and you have a high gpa then you have high sat scores. but just think of how much you learn in the class room for years and how little an hour or 3 hour test can measure it. lets be honest with ourselves.</p>
<p>Lol mine is tragic’</p>
<p>but im lazy so its deserved</p>
<p>SAT
CR-760 (missed all vocab too lazy lol)
M-800
W-730 (too lazy to read grammar)</p>
<p>GPA 3.55 <— LOL thats with PE</p>
<p>800CR 800M 770W</p>
<p>and here it comes…</p>
<p>3.55 GPA (fail)</p>
<p>Hmm. I think you all have a skewed idea of what constitutes ‘mediocre’. Mediocre implies ‘average’. What you probably mean to say is ‘good’ rather than ‘great’ or ‘stellar’.</p>
<p>I just reviewed my post from years ago when I was still a high school student. My idea of ‘mediocre’ was just as skewed! lol</p>
<p>I’ve noticed a lot of people have been putting up their SAT scores and GPAs as proof that while their SAT scores are stellar, their GPAs suck. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if they attend their local community college or not. Because you know what? They’re smart. And when they become a housewife/construction worker, everyone will care that they’re actually really, really, really smart.</p>
<p>…see, that works if you have, say, STELLAR SAT scores. Which, erm, a lot of these posts lack lol. I think one person was boasting of their below-700 in a subject scores. That was their example of their high SAT scores. In comparison with low GPA. You know what? The GPA was even worse.</p>
<p>Just saying lol. I think the starter of this thread meant people with HIGH scores and OKAY GPAs…not bad and worse haha…</p>
<p>But this worries me in a faintly superstitious way. Do you guys mean to imply that people with perfect and weighted GPAs will automatically be dumber and score lower on SATs…? lol I’m scared now for the 22nd haha :)</p>
<p>hmm, i would say that my GPA is pretty mediocre and my SAT pretty good
2130 Sat
3.54GPA :p</p>
<p>I hope this will get me into some colleges.</p>
<p>try this on for size …</p>
<p>2400.</p>
<p>3.0</p>
<p>I **** you not.</p>
<p>^ Is your school exceptionally difficult, or are you unmotivated?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Making dubious claims will only make you look more stupid.</p>
<p>This is the data for last year’s graduating class at my school.</p>
<p><a href=“http://grab.by/34Um[/url]”>http://grab.by/34Um</a></p>
<p>There isn’t really much of a correlation. This is the graph for everyone with a 92-105 average, so basically all A-A+ GPAs.</p>
<p>I have a lovely 2.6 g.p.a. with a 1920 so ■■■… Then again I am extremely unmotivated =/</p>
<p>2370, 3.8 UW. I guess 3.8 isn’t really low, but it doesn’t really match the SAT score.</p>
<p>“^ Is your school exceptionally difficult, or are you unmotivated?”</p>
<p>both. I go to a fairly selective private school that sends >10% of its graduating class to top-tier schools. but AP courses are very selective, and if one, for example, doesn’t qualify for AP Spanish in 10th grade, it may be “impossible” for one to ever enter the AP track for Spanish. so I haven’t taken any APs so far. (I’m a junior.) hopefully cornell and/or dartmouth will take a chance with me.</p>
<p>Opposite for me: 1900 SAT; 4.0 UW. Waiting for March score.</p>
<p>My friend, a slacker: 219 PSAT; <3.50 UW</p>
