On: Test scores are not irrelevant

[TotoHorner]

Well, I had pretty good SAT scores (2350+) and a very poor GPA (3.0/4.0).

Main reason was that I just spent all my time pursuing ECs and didn't have enough time to spend on grades.

Think you'll lose a lot of smart kids who spend time on ECs that way.

That was probably more or less my college story for grad school. Very good GREs but lousy GPA in college. (And only somewhat less my story in grad school before going to the next grad school :-))
