I got this idea from a Princeton thread, but it seems as if there is supposed to be a correlation between high school gpa and SAT scores. Is this the case? It seems as if high schools whose valedictorians score mediocre on the SAT are of lesser quality than other schools? Will adcoms be impressed by students who are ranked outside of the top 1-2%, yet outscore most of those who are in the top 1-2%?
