Do "decent" SAT scores kill an applicant's chances?

<p>When will people at CC realize that GPA/transcript is twice as important as the test scores?</p>

<p>That a 4.0/2100 is much more impressive than a 3.7-3.8/2400, assuming that SAT II scores and such are the same, and assuming that there’s not significant grade inflation. </p>

<p>Maybe you all should realize that people with 2300+ scores got in because people with 2300+ scores are more likely to have higher stats in other categories as well, be better writers, and succeed more in school? I honestly don’t think colleges care about SAT scores too much once you get into the 2000+ range. Sure, it helps, but as a Yale adcom said, they measure academics, ECs, and perhaps most of all, character. SAT scores don’t make up half the equation.</p>
