<p>I don’t know…even with the higher SAT scores, you then could be considered a “slacker” who didn’t work to his potential.</p>
<p>My son is also at a top high school in our state, has about a 3.3 (that’s weighted) and 1350/1980 so far (took once, awaiting March scores). He’s a four year varsity athlete and has great ECs, but none of that stuff matters for the large public schools. </p>
<p>He definitely could have worked harder to bring his grades up, and I think that as he matures, he has realized that. But it may be too late for him to get into his dream school…</p>
