My son is in the same boat

2300 SATs, but only a 3.7 unweighted gpa

Unfortunately, the trend today is to give the SAT less weight.

I don’t agree with this trend, because I think everyone knows deep down that a kid who received a 2300 has the ability to do well academically, and that there are a lot of kids out there with high gpa’s because of grade inflation, or a high school’s lenient grading policies.

I have been trying to get a list of schools that give great weight to the SAT, as opposed to gpa, but when I have posted such a thread on CC before, I didn’t get much of a response.

By the way, my son is also applying to JH and UC.
