what most people do not know is that YOU are compared to your classmates. Noone gives a crap about your GPA and SAT scores as long as you are one of the top students in your high school. People have really bad misconceptions about how admissions work saying you need to have 2000+ SAT, 4.5 GPA blablabla. but the truth is that your GPA and SAT just needs to be the best within your high school.

How do you think there are people in UCLA right now with 1200 and 1300 SAT’s. It is because they were one of the top students in their (unfortunate) high school. So yes, being from a ghetto high school does contribute a lot to college admissions.
