<p>this is such a ***** thing to ask, but HOW do people get such high GPAs and such low SATs?</p>

3

<p>the SAT isnt that low, it's not CC-caliber but it's way above average.</p>

4

<p>right, but hes valedictorian also</p>

5

<p>yes, well i guess standardized testing is not his strong point. whatever;)</p>

<p>iono i have to say SAT's and GPA are quite different... GPA is how you did in ure classes, and SAT is reading, writing, and math (not exactly ALL ure classes). I was a valedictorian with SAT scores in the same area as him (I suck at english in general haha)
I got in for electrical engineering this year.
I'd say a match for UCLA and USC (not sure about the rest). You could probably get into Cal as well, if you want (I did with similar stats, but ures are actually a little better).</p>
