How much will test scores balance GPA?

Applying to College

Hi all!

I’m a junior at the moment and was wondering what impact my test scores would have on my GPA. I got a 35 on the ACT and am hoping to get 1500+ on the SAT. My unweighted GPA is 3.64 for freshmen/sophomore year and I am on track to get a 3.85 junior year - upward track is good? My top schools are competitive like usc and ucla. Thoughts? Thanks so much!

^ also, I’ve been taking a relatively rigorous course load.

With ACT 35, you should skip the SAT and focus on bringing up your GPA.

From what I’ve calculated, I’m going to get a B+ in bio and A/A- in everything else.
