Re: College App Question: SAT scores vs. GPA
what your college counselors will do (or atleast what mine did) will send a break down of what your school is all about. In a school like mine you didn't want to be ranked. Only 30 kids total and almost all were top notch ivy league material. I however was a lazy jock that was just gifted so I was def. on the lower end. But they send a paper out saying due to our competitive nature we don't rank etc etc but they say based on our unweighted scale of 4.0 85% of students had higher than 3.0, 50% had higher than x, 10% than y, and top 5% (TWO STUDENTS in my case) has this...Most of my friends from prep schools were in a similar situation. My advice to you would be to get superb letters of recommendation from your college counselor, dean of upper school, and some of your math/science teachers. (maybe even one from your classes at STandford). Also obv. a good essay, although for an EE program I don't know what is taken into consideration. Goodluck and if you need any help let me know

ganja, i pm'ed you the only review i could find, still looking for some sort of ranking [/ QUOTE ] I got your PM and i actually recognize your school. It is in fact a good school and that may give you a head up on other students. Be sure to mention this in your application, and highlight all your advanced courses that most high school students wouldn't take. Also, if you've taken courses that count for college credit, note the GPA for those separately.
