<p>I was in the same boat as you when I was applying for colleges: Super low GPA/rank, high test scores. </p>
<p>Luckily for you, it’s actually much better to have a low GPA/high SAT combination than a high GPA/low SAT combination, so you’re at an advantage compared to say, a 4.0 GPA/1900 SAT applicant. Your essays will be extremely important, because the only way you can make colleges think twice about rejecting you right away due to your GPA is to stand out and be unique. The only way to really stand out from the crowd is with your essays. </p>
