So I have an SAT score of 2220 (790CR/690M/740W), which is the second highest that anyone has received in my class. However, due to some trouble at home during high school, my grades dropped a bit my sophomore year and I got a few B’s. My GPA is currently approximately a 3.75-3.8 unweighted and my rank is 19/220.

How much do you guys think that my low rank and GPA will hurt me? Some schools I’m applying to are: UPenn (ED), Columbia, UChicago, Johns Hopkins, and Northwestern.

This isn’t a chance thread, I just want to know how much weight a good SAT score has against a somewhat mediocre (for these schools) rank and GPA.
