<p>Just throwing my opinion out here: Most of the people at my school who have the best SAT scores do have worse transcripts. They are smart, but don’t apply themselves. People who are in semi-advanced math and read a lot, but can’t manage to do their homework. Despite the fact that they are National Merit Semi/Finalists, their GPA may be only 3.9 weighted. There is no way these students would be accepted at UVA.</p>
