If you think about it, requiring a higher SAT to offset a lower GPA is backwards. If we assume that the SAT is a measure of academic capability, which is what the schools do by using them, right or wrong. It follows that a lower GPA combined with a high SAT suggests underachievement. The converse would be true as well. I would take the person with the better work ethic and attitude.
