Let me begin by saying that both are important and if you are looking at a specific college, I suggest you get in touch with their admissions department to find out what they have to say.

Having said that, most colleges would rather someone challenge themselves, at least marginally, rather than simply having a high GPA.

They would usually prefer you take a few AP and Pre-AP classes and get a B in one or two than take all blow-offs and make all A's. However, you should NOT fail an AP or Pre-AP class. If you are in jeopardy of failing, level down, but always discuss this with your teacher first.

Are sat scores more important than your average grade to get into colleges?

Colleges look at three things that all add up to 100%. Your GPA is 50% of it, sat/act scores are 25%, and your application and essays and extra curricular activities are the other 25% so no sat scores are not more important. Hope this helps!
