<p>GPA is definitely a more essential part of your college application (in comparison to the SAT).</p>
<p>The SAT is more of a “qualifier” to make sure you are intellectually ready to take the tests that will be given in college. GPA measures your ability to do work in a consistent and efficient manner.</p>
<p>I would say your SAT score actually validates your GPA. After that they probably just look at your Essay, EC’s, Ethnicity, etc.</p>
<p>SAT shows intellect. GPA shows your effort in school, unless it is inflated. I don’t know why AP Exams don’t count much for college admission. It pretty much proves that you can handle a somewhat (say that word since some subjects in college can be harder than the AP level) college-level subject and validates your grades in an AP class (so many lazy people cheat in those classes at my school).</p>
<p>Since I don’t feel like reading 100 pages, could someone sum up what the big controversy was? I read on another thread someone say that like no one is getting an 800 but they didn’t elaborate why… I personally didn’t think it was very hard.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure he’s just bitter that the rest of us disagree with his inaccurate reading.</p>
<p>The test was pretty easy, but we’ll see come Thursday.</p>
<p>What if your grades are inflated and but you also get a good SAT score, thats a win win situation.</p>
