“Does GPA really carry so much weight that my acceptance will depend on it?” In a word…yes. It is a major deciding factor.

Watching this board over the years, I’ve seen several kids with 34&35 ACT scores and gpa’s under 3.8 turned down. Particularly, from out of state, and from states with stiff competition.

A high ACT and a lower than average gpa can be interpreted as saying…I’m capable of better, but I don’t care enough to push myself for my best outcome. It’s not necessarily a positive.
