[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a rising junior, and their GPA (for now) is 3.95/4.83. Their SAT score is likely to be around 1350, maybe 1400 as a stretch.

How much can the high GPA offset the SAT score when it comes to college admission? They will apply to a variety of schools, a couple top ranked but mostly in the top 50-75. [/quote]

3.95 is weighted?[/quote]

To clarify why I am confused: you said you child has a 3.95/4.83. If 3.95 is weighted, then the GPA is not very high, esp if you’re hoping to use it to overcome a lower SAT. Most people would have the denominator and numerator be both unweighted or both weighted, not one weighted and one unweighted. Since the denominator is over a 4.0, I assume that it weighted, so I am assuming the 3.95 is, too. [/quote]

Not PP, but I don't think that is a fraction....that is giving both the unweighted and weighted GPA.
3.95- unweighted
4.83- weighted[/quote]
OP here. Sorry for my shorthand. What PP put above is correct. [/quote]
