Does the SAT score help if you got bad grades in high school.?
It really depends on the school. You’ll still have little to no shot at the top colleges…they’re looking for both a good SAT and gpa, and interpret a high SAT score and low GPA as saying that you’re clearly smart enough to do well, but are too lazy to be bothered, and that’s exactly the kind of student they *don’t* want at their schools. At schools where your GPA is closer to the average you’d probably have a shot.
