<p>family friend that worked in admissions says that when given scores and gpa, her school always took gpa first. she said it was because a high score and low gpa means lazy and a low score and high gpa means a worker. but my cc says the opposite. scores mean ability vs gpa could mean easier classes and easier school. a good school should know that both of those situations are possible and look at it all. obviously, a 900 sat and a 3.0 gpa would not even get a look. i think they have "points" that they look for. like dont
bother with anything under 3.9 and 1400 or whatever? reason i say this is a kid i know excelled at sports and math and is a girl! she got denied at schools and the only thing i could see was the low gpa. i don't think they even looked after they saw the 3.5.</p>
