Good GPA, Bad at SATs

Top schools will look more holistically at you, and so as long as you do decent on your SAT’s (I’m not sure how bad your ‘bad’ is) then it’s ok. Most state schools and lower private schools though have people who all have high GPA’s but low SAT’s - they look a lot more at things like SAT’s for scholarships (not admissions as much, since it’s pretty easy to get into them) since almost everyone going to those public schools or lower privates has a B+/A- GPA (I’m talking about USNEWS Rank 60+)
