<p>In general, a large disparity between tests and grades can indicate a few things to schools. Are you gifted, but lazy or uncooperative in classroom? Are you a typical high-average student, but just test well (or prepped really hard)? Is your school full of high-achieving students and just has a really tough grading system?</p>
<p>Any good admissions department will use their resources to sort through the mess and figure it out. Some will not care. The test scores alone will get you into many colleges. If you can explain the test scores a good school like Emory will likely take you. If not, there are many other options.</p>
