[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]

[b]Where does you kid want to go?  A high SAT score is more likely to pull up a weaker GPA than the other way around.

Your post is missing a bunch of info re your kid's school, ECs, how your fam demographically plays into things.  And, all important, are you full pay? [/b]

Start off by planning to to apply EA to Tulane or BC and then stategize from ther. [/quote]
OP here:
Not sure where they want to go yet. 
ECs are ok: part-time job and a few clubs. One leadership position. No sports, music, or national awards. 
Full pay but not sure where all the money will come from so a lower ranked school with higher merit is probably going to be necessary. Or a state school. [/quote]
