A new eligibility index combines high school GPA with SAT I (or ACT) and SAT II test scores. GPA continues to be the most important factor: SAT II is weighed more heavily than SAT I. SAT total = [SAT I composite] + [2 x (SAT II Writing + SAT II math + third SAT II)] SAT I composite is highest combined math and verbal scores from a single sitting. Highest individual SAT II scores, from any sitting, will be considered.
