[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The strongest indicator of college readiness would be college admissions which is published by Bethesda magazine. [/quote]

Not really as those are self reported admitted. The cheating scandal shows that admitted isn’t the same as ready even if you could trust the data. Under that guise of your logic why not just rank the schools by graduation rates? [/quote]

I'm sorry if this doesn't support the narrative you'd like but it is the best indicator of college readiness we have.[/quote]

I would bet my Porsche you aren’t smart enough to make that proclamation. I seriously doubt you even went to college and or truly understand what the differences between descriptive statistics and inferential statistics are. Self reported data and test sores aren’t really compatible. Hell even if it could be trusted, one can’t ascertain if the admitted is an illiterate football player or an academic scholar. I guess both could be counted as various forms of college ready but that isn’t what USNEWS is talking about. They are trying to measure base level academic standards for incoming freshmen.

Even with you list, different colleges have different standards. Lots of kids are Community College ready but not everyone is ready to be a Mudder[/quote]
