<p>The whole reason a vast majority of colleges require standardized test scores is because they are standardized. HS GPAs and ranks are flawed by a large number of variables for which application readers cannot account for. Why would you take a 4.0/2100 when often the 4.0 is heavily inflated, resulted from an easy course load or just from an incredibly easy high school. I would prefer a 3.7-3.8/2400 over a 4.0/2100 any day.</p>
