<p>can high test grades or amazing essays help</p>
<p>i have an uw 3.66 (like a 91 average)
and a w 3.96( like 98)
:(</p>
<p>2400 SAT and cure to cancer?</p>
<p>Seriously, class rank is more important. I would work hard on prep for the SATs and become devoted to your essay and ECs.</p>
<p>SATs, EC's, and class rank all can offset (to a certain degree) a gpa such as yours (because your gpa isn't low, its good actually). </p>
<p>Not CC good, but good in real life.</p>
<p>GPA means nothing without it being taken in context; colleges will be more understanding of your "low" GPA if you're taking the hardest courses possible.</p>
<p>If your GPA is your weakest part, better beef up your other things (most importantly SAT/SAT II scores), but GPA really is the most important thing. Concentrate on raising your GPA first and foremost.</p>
<p>Why should class rank be more important?
Technically, a person with AP English, AP Human Geo, AP Psych, AP Calc AB can be the same rank as AP English, AP Chemistry, AP Bio, AP Calc BC</p>
<p>in which case, the latter is obviously smarter and more qualified.</p>
<p>what if your school doesn't rank?</p>
