Not to mention it barely included any emphasis on an essay which most colleges lead prospective students to believe is one of the largest considerations? I don’t know how I feel about this. All it says to me is that a student needs to have good SATS and GPA, not one or the other. Otherwise, I take this with no more than a grain of salt.</p>
