<p>we are currently doing a bet on these two kids lol
who has a higher stat or chances in any college?</p>
<p>candidate a)
GPA: 3.92
SAT: 2140
Great EC with some interships</p>
<p>candidate b)
GPA: 3.75
SAT: 2070, ACT:34
Fine ECs, no interships</p>
<p>who???</p>
<p>A because of ECs</p>
<p>Depends on the college. In most cases A, but if the college is super focused on test scores B would probably look just as good if not better to them.</p>
<p>“A” because of GPA (assuming rank is proportionately higher also)…</p>
<p>“A” because of gpa. Unless candidate “B” goes to an extremely competitive hs where a 3.75 is still in the top 10%.</p>
<p>they’re in same school
damn it… my money is on B bcuz i thought B’s 34ACT will look better than A’s SAT
…hm…
and nah A is in 10% and B is in 20% i think…
will this make any chance?</p>
<p>GPA and the student’s transcript is the most important part of the application.</p>
<p>what do you mean by transcript?
isnt transcript the same thing as GPA?
or you mean recommendation letters?</p>
<p>^They are referring to strength of schedule, course selection, and performance in those courses.</p>
<p>Obviously A…</p>
<p>dang it… MY MONEY.
i thought ACT 34 would be a great advantage for B…</p>
<p>nope A has the best chance because of gpa</p>
