Average GPA of those who score in the 2000's

<p>I’m a senior and I just got my December scores back, 2000 flat. My GPA is very low, however, at 3.48 unweighted and 3.7 weighted. Typically at most schools…what’s the average GPA of someone who scores in the 2000’s on the SAT?</p>

<p>Also, I know it’s not that good…but can my SAT score compensate for my ridiculously low GPA?</p>

<p>You’re going to get GPA’s from all over the place on this one. Some people just tend to be better testtakers than others.</p>

<p>I scored a 2000 flat also
GPA: 3.7
WGPA: like 4.7 or something…but don’t mind this because our weighted system was screwy</p>

<p>I’m in a similar situation to you. 2090, but my GPA is actually a 3.40/3.57, not including the current semester.</p>

<p>The impression and assumption that I’ve figured are that, well, there’s a range, just as there probably is at your high school. Most colleges look at your application pretty holistically–I mean, the other ten or so pages of the Common App aren’t for nothing. If you look through those middle-50% stats for schools, you’ll see that the ranges of SAT scores and GPAs are often wide and sometimes not quite calibrated the same way, and I have trouble believing that all of those kids fell on an extreme for both scores and GPAs.</p>

<p>The Dean of Admissions at George Mason made an interesting post about this conundrum in [his</a> blog](<a href=“http://notjustadmissions.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2007/11/15/you-got-great-sat-scores-but-your-grades-arenot-so-great/#respond]his”>http://notjustadmissions.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2007/11/15/you-got-great-sat-scores-but-your-grades-arenot-so-great/#respond). (He actually keeps a pretty interesting blog. I’ve subscribed to it.)</p>

<p>I got a 2020 and a 3.18 gpa. However, my gpa for the past two years has been a 4.0 and a 4.33, I just really dicked around my first two years.</p>
