You are so right. Congrats on the good scores. My #1 only scored 1090 on SAT and still got $180,000 collective dollars towards several academic scholarships (Florida State, Steson, Alabama to name a few well known schools.) He didn't solicit any of it but from one private school (Stetson). The rest were public. Three schools offered him $40,000 each (one was FSU, which he took, but he didn't like FSU). UGA will look at GPA 2:1. GPA is more important. Really. (Because what if you test well and score poorly? That shows you are capable but aren't living up to your potential.)
Schools are rated, too. High schools are part of the Freshman index score. So, you better hope one's high school has a good grade.
My favorite story to tell is a student I taught received almost - now get ready - almost ONE MILLION in academic scholarships offers....ONE PERSON!!!!!! He got partial here and partial there...good schools, too....Ivy's and West Coast. But was offered a full ride at MIssissippi State University. His parents were from there and his grandparents live there. And he's going into engineering and they have a good department. Don't laugh. I imagine after undergrad, he could go anywhere he wants for grad. His parents just couldn't afford it.
But cool, huh? Graduated from a public high school in Georgia. That kid is great. He's a sophomore now...well, maybe a Junior...he took tons of AP classes and advanced math classes.....and he's not from any ethnicity....a white boy.
