The latest study reached three main conclusions. First, students with higher SAT and ACT scores also tend to achieve higher college GPAs. Second, high school GPAs are poor predictors of college GPAs. Lastly, students with similar standardized test scores also have similar college GPAs, even if they come from different socioeconomic backgrounds.[/quote]

What GPA is necessary to graduate college?

Once you're accepted to a highly selective college,  based on established graduation rates, the chances of graduating college is high. Employers rarely look a GPAs post college graduation. Good grad schools will take 3.0 and higher GPAs.

The mandatory SAT/ACT purists want to use the tests as a gatekeeper at the college admissions level. There are too many institutional priorities for that to happen. And for all of the faux wrangling over academic performance IN college, no one cares after the college acceptance letter comes in. This DCUM forum is geared towards admissions - not post admissions matriculation.

This aside, there are enough 1500+/34+ scorers to meet the arbitrary threshold for T50 or so schools. And TO isn't going away.
