Hello,
Im a rising male junior, and i may be recruited to run at one of the ivies. im hoping yale, darmouth, and brown. i have a 4.0uw gpa going into junior year with honors classes, and will probably have taken 7APs by the end of my senior year. in general is a great SAT score “more valuable” to the eyes of ivy adcoms? or does a strong GPA in tough classes look better? i say this because i have been prepping for the SAT for a couple months… and i took my first practice CR and Writing section… and scored 580, and 560 im really irritated and sad about these scores… because i know they are not where they need to be. maybe i should give myself more time?
thank you for any advice or help
