Which top schools value SAT/ACT scores over GPA/rank?

<p>Someone bumped this old thread that I was the OP for, so I thought I would give an update. </p>

<p>S had a good junior year, and ended up in the Top 10% of his class, with about an unweighted 3.5. He applied ED to WashU in St. Louis and was accepted! I think that 35 ACT helped a lot. He sent SAT subject test scores (USH 780, Math2 750), but not SAT scores (2200).</p>

<p>He had a great senior year in HS, with his best grades ever with a very challenging schedule, which I was both happy and just a little bit irritated about. (Glad to see him maturing and living up to his potential, but wishing that he could have done it when it counted for college admissions.) But I can’t complain - he got into a great college, which seems to be a great fit for him. </p>

<p>He flew to St. Louis 2 weeks ago - so far so good.</p>
