[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the dumbest methodology. A school would be #1 in the country if it made every 9th grader take 20 AP exams and 90% of them dropped out afterwards. It wouldn't even matter if the kids got all 1s on the tests.[/quote] As research has shown, the rigor of one's high school courseload is more predictive of college success than SAT scores. That's why this methodology is used. There are lots of rankings out there that just look at SAT scores or Ivy acceptances. You are free to consult those as well. [/quote] Loading up a donkey with broken legs and expecting them to finish isn't a good idea.[/quote] Loading up a donkey with underdeveloped leg muscles makes them stronger. Again, the research supports this. [/quote]
