<p>Whether the overall academic weights in the whole candidate score have changed, it’s interesting to note that Ann’s SAT/ACT combined weight of 37 percent is about the same as the 35 percent weight I posted. </p>
<p>The point to grasp it that, right or wrong, the SAT/ACT scores are a heavily weighted piece in the WCS. More important , they are a piece that the candidate continues to control during the application process. GPA, class rank and leadership activities are pretty much already determined. However, a newly focused effort for several weeks on the SAT or ACT can produce material improvement in the scores and a significant improvement in a candidates WCS.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
