[quote=Anonymous]Interesting. I’ve heard some suggest that high test scores accompanied by lower than expected grades is a red flag for laziness. But , I’ve also heard that colleges they are more likely to dismiss less-than-desirable grades when accompanied by an exceptionally high ACT/SAT score. An admissions officer may explain the discrepancy by saying DC was obviously quite bright but must not have been challenged by his high school teachers; he is likely to shine when he is properly engaged by the professors at their prestigious university. That same admissions officer is likely to be suspicious of high grades accompanied by poor test scores and doubt her ability to keep up with the intellectual level of college courses.[/quote]
