If you have an unweighted GPA of 4.0 in an academically rigorous curriculum in an academically rigorous high school, that will help your application a lot.
The SAT scores you are getting as a rising junior will be lower than what you will score at the end of junior year, because you will have advanced in your reading, writing and math skills. But if your best submitted scores are going to be (only) in the high 500’s or low 600’s, then I doubt that a 4.0 GPA or running ability will make up for the low scores.


Good luck.
