Horrible grades (sub 3.0), good test scores (2350+)

<p>My kid is in similar situation but with slightly higher GPA, and it is indeed somewhat unfair to characterize the low grades as “laziness”. AP courses in particular generated reams of homework sheets. Cynically, the emphasis on homework points seems geared to boost the GPA of the worker bees who don’t do so well on tests. Kids could turn in all the homework and fail tests, and still get a B in the classes. Some kids just take a while to master the filing system to handle the vast amount of busywork. If you can study your book & lecture notes and do well on tests in college you will do fine.</p>
