I think everybody knows those Vales and Saluds with pretty mediocre test scores that still got into really good schools. A high GPA in tough courses is what demonstrates to colleges that you can handle their workload.

The rule of thumb I’ve always heard from admissions people is that while a high GPA can make up for a low SAT, a high SAT cannot make up for a low GPA.
