<p>I agree with the premise that SAT’s should be given a larger eye than GPA. In my case, my private “liberal arts” esque school grades extremely “stingily” and doesn’t offer AP classes nor SAT prep. I have a GPA of a 3.6 (taking hardest classes possible), but that should be very high compared to my school. Unfortunately, my school also does not give a class rank (neither to colleges nor to students). My school though, (Park School of Baltimore), has an excellent rep sheet of colleges, in fact, probably the best or one of the best in Maryland. I believe that the SAT gives the students an opportunity to really show their knowledge in contrast to other schools. For example, a b-plus in my school is excellent, while a b or b plus in my local public school is not good at all. SAT ftw!</p>
