CTScoutMom, I completely understand that SAT is important, especially to put things in perspective, I was just arguing that it stands about where it should be in importance. The SAT helps differentiate between kids with similar GPA’s.

I’m not talking about kids with similar GPA, but kids with different GPA from different schools, when their schools are those who only have the occasional applicant to top schools. Even for less selective schools, if they have OOS applicants, it may be the only real clue about the differences between the schools.
