Grades or SAT/ACT Scores: What's More Imortant?

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>So I wanted to open up the floor especially to those who have gotten into a combined program: Which was more influential in your admission to an accelerated program? SAT/ACT scores or GPA/Class rank?</p>

<p>Probably GPA/Class Rank just like it is more important for regular college admissions. Although everyone will have decent (at least 2100) test scores, and for the best programs (Rice/Baylor, HPME, PLME), scores tend to be 2280+.</p>

<p>How’s a 2200+ with a very high gpa/top 1% rank? Do you think chances are good for bs/md at, for the sake of discussion, pennstate or howard?</p>

<p>Penn State or Howard? I would say yes, you’d certainly have a decent shot.</p>

<p>do these programs superscore SATs?</p>

<p>I would say class rank, but only if weighted, and i only say this because it shows what classes you are taking, which is the most important.</p>

<p>Grades…</p>

<p>any idea what the order of importance would be for an international?</p>
