[quote=Anonymous]That the WGPA is 3.85 but the SAT is 1500+ is actually an interesting dichotomy - usually when scores and grades don’t align it goes the other way, and the grades outpace the scores and suggest grade inflation. OP, if there was an event or issue that pulled your son’s grades down, he should think about how to address it in the common app, maybe in the additional info section. Or if it was a case of having a rough start adjusting to high school and then improving, lean into that and demonstrate his growth and improvement into a stronger student. In terms of what he’s actually doing with his time though, he sounds fine. The common app doesn’t open until Aug 1. Yes, he could be working on the non-essay parts that will port over from the previous version to the new year, but it’s not that big a deal that he isn’t doing that yet. [/quote]
