That’s a pretty generalized assumption - and, again, not entirely supported by posters on CC, reddit and other forums who respond with their own stats.
And yet… it happens. If one reviews enough of the specific college threads on admissions - you will see there are a lot more posters who post what I consider to be very high GPA attainment with attention attracting low(er) scores, than there are posters who post ‘mid’ to high (but not very high grades) but have perfect 1600 or 36s.
-or- perhaps their GPA is what they have earned based on being an absolute workhorse, spending significantly more hours on homework and studying, doing all assignments and obsessing over each detail, going for all extra credit all the time etc etc. There are plenty of students who will self report HS (UW)GPA of 3.8-4.0 or even WGPA of 4.4+ who will have scores below your 1450 bar. I’m not suggesting these students shouldn’t be admitted - I’m suggesting that all available data be evaluated for admissions, and then consistently reviewed against that cohorts intra-college performance as well as their post college performance / happiness etc.
