<p>It obviously does make a difference, but it’s very apparent when someone is a grade grubber. Grade grubber test scores are much lower than the people ranked in the teens. We had 7 people earn scores equivalent to or above a 2300 on the SAT, 2 were in the top 10 (4 and 9 I believe), the rest were in the teens. However, eventually, those people have to take the requisite classes that they missed in earlier years (Health and P.E. are common ones) and those often knock that person out of the top 10.</p>
