❖ What do colleges look at more SAT or GPA?
➢ It depends on where you choose to go to, but for a majority of students and
SAT/ACT score is the score that colleges look at more instead of GPA, even
though it is this an important factor when applying for college. As we all know
your GPA is based over four years and that's why colleges look at SAT scores
because they are more recent and they can rely on the score being more up to date
not overall.
