[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10th grader's grades are awful - really bad - but he shocked us and scored in 99th%ile on PSAT. Maybe he has a shot at college now? How much does a great score count if the grades suck?[/quote] I was a 3.0 kid in HS with 99%+ SAT scores. I didn't get into any good schools and almost flunked out of the mediocre school I did get into. I managed to turn it around when I got into a major I liked (close to 4.0 for last couple of years in undergrad) and got good grades in a very good graduate school (had excellent GRE scores). High SAT scores and low grades usually means very smart but unmotivated, and schools generally don't like that.[/quote]
