GPA or SAT Scores?

I agree that GPA is more important and so is curriculum. When my daughter applied as a graphic design major, we actually heard some art teachers ask, why did she take Physics, Calculus and Spanish 4 Honors? She doesn’t need those classes? She also has AP Art Hist and an art studio course in addition to the other trad classes. She was surprised someone would question her desire to take difficult classes. Her feeling was she wanted to be prepared for anything (what if she changes majors?). In any case, her SATs weren’t as high as her friends, but she got in everywhere she wanted to go.
