All of the top top schools that I’ve talked to, which is basically Stanford, Yale, and MIT, emphasize the fact that the first thing they look at is your transcript. Everything else is supposedly weighted more or less equally. The main idea here is that while a 4.4 GPA isn’t going to make them accept you alone, a 3.0 GPA would make them reject you without looking much further, no matter how fabulous your SAT scores are (in most cases).
