Colleges that like high test scores?

<p>Hey guys, currently my GPA is lackluster (think <3.5), while my SAT (2300+) and subject tests (750+) are pretty good. My EC's are pretty standard, (a few varsity sports, volunteering etc.) and I don't have any hooks. Right now my first choice is WUSTL, as it seems to have a history of accepting some students with lower GPAs, and I loved my visit there. Can you guys suggest any other colleges that seem to favor higher test scores, or at least forgiving towards GPA? Thanks!</p>

<p>Is that your weighted GPA? If not, what is your weighted GPA? </p>

<p>What exactly is your unweighted GPA?</p>

<p>What is your class rank?</p>

<p>USC likes high test scores.</p>

<p>That’s unweighted, 3.43 to be exact >.< School doesn’t rank or give weighted, but last time I checked I think weighted was around 4.</p>

<p>You’re an idiot. All colleges like high test scores.</p>

Some don’t care as much.</p>

<p>You could get into UA-Huntsville with a scholarship with those scores and that GPA. (courtesy of mom2collegekids!)</p>

<p>As for your GPA, I think you should still try applying to some other schools of your choice. Anything can happen.</p>

<p>Mine is worse than that and that’s what I’m doing. (though I’m not getting my hopes up about it)</p>

<p>?</p>

<p>So your school won’t put a weighted GPA on your transcript? You should ask if they will hand-write a weighted GPA onto your transcript.</p>

<p>Yes, UAH would give you a good scholarship.</p>

<p>If you can get your weighted GPA written on your transcript then Alabama would give you free tuition. It’s ok if the GC just writes it on your transcript…that’s fine.</p>

<p>Are you a NMSF?</p>
