<p>the question is unanswerable b/c different adcoms value gpa and SAT differently. In general, my gut tells me that the emphasis is 2/3 SAT, 1/3 grades. However, schools like the nine Universities of California, Michigan, and I suspect most Flagship Publics put the emphasis as about 2/3 grades, 1/3 SATs. Why? Because they are too large to give the personal attention often needed by the student who apparently needs encouragement – the student whose GPA is low compared to their SAT.</p>
