[quote=Anonymous][quote]^^I'll just add that I think OPs situation also suggests that GPA matters more than test scores. I've seen folks say on different threads that sometimes it is a red flag to have high test scores and lower GPA.[/quote] Right. Absent there being another explanation in the application, the assumption is that the kid was smart but not willing to work very hard. The elite schools would rather see someone (even if not as inherently intelligent) who will contribute more to their student body by being more academically invested and willing to throw themselves wholeheartedly into student life.[/quote]
