[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Girls have better high school GPA (3.23) vs. boys (3.0). But boys have slightly higher average SAT (1032) than girls (1023). More important for college admissions, boys are over represented (57%) in top 10% of SAT scorers.

Admissions officers care about GPA more than test scores. Some schools take this to the extreme. UC system is test blind, which means high SAT/ACT score means nothing. Those policies increase female enrollment.

I think both should be considered and in context.   students that perform very well academically but don't test as well or don't have the resources to heavily prep are still good candidates for college.  And students that can test very well but don't perform well academically could also be good candidates for college.

The student needs to understand why this is their profile and understand what college program with what supports will help them succeed.  [/quote]
