Test score is not everything for admission but still important. Here is an article from Forbes test score ranking. http://www.forbes.com/sites/schifrin/2014/08/04/top-100-sat-scores-ranking-which-colleges-have-the-brightest-kids/
@sltxdad my school’s naviance shows several 2300+ waitlisted and several ~2100 accepted (about 12/40 get in each year). I think they care much more about interest than scores. But just another anecdote…
I understand that test scores are only one factor but I do have quite a low gpa for my school and the colleges I’ve been looking at. Can a higher test score counteract that??
