what's more important?

<p>i know both are weighed heavily by colleges, but which one's more important? Is it SAT or gpa/classrank? I would think SAT's but im not sure. So wat do u think?</p>

<p>Class rank/GPA is more important. For example at the Universities of California, it's GPA 41%, SAT 29%. At the east coast Ivies, they use the SAT just as a qualifier--and the rank is about 60%, followed by extracurriculars and awards. (probably around 25% to 30%).</p>

<p>What do you mean, they use the SAT as a qualifier?</p>

<p>At the Ivies, GPA and SAT are almost equal in importance -- They're the two biggest factors.
I would say it's like, 1/3 GPA, 1/3 SAT, 1/3 ECs, awards, recommendations, essays, etc.</p>
