<p>Will a score of 1770 with 500 M, 620 CR, 650 W, ruin a 4.2 GPA?</p>

<p>Well, if you apply to colleges that don’t look at SAT scores (like Smith College, for example), then it’ll probably be fine. Also, most colleges (if not all) look more at your GPA so dont worry too much. What classes and grades did you receive to get that 4.2? The GPA number is less important than the actual grades in regular/ honors/ AP classes, though. Most importantly, apply to colleges that have similar stats as you do. This will help you get accepted and not struggle too much with the work. Good luck :)</p>

<p>You know, there is no standard for GPA particularly for weighed GPA. For schools that require SAT scores, they may think your GPA is inflated although the SAT scores is not necessarily correlated with academic performance at school.</p>

<p>You definitely have a disconnect between your SATs and your GPA. imhkim has good advice. You may want to try the ACT to compare.</p>
