Agree - very credible research suggests GPA is x5 times more important than test scores in predicting future college success.

Rank order these students (based on your belief that GPA is 5x more relevant than standardized testing, or otherwise).

A. 4.00 u/w GPA (5 APs) + 1400 / 32
B. 4.00 u/w GPA (8 APs) + T/O
C. 3.85 u/w GPA (10 APs) + 1500 / 34
D. 3.85 u/w GPA (12 APs) + T/O
E. 3.70 u/w GPA (15 APs) + 1600 / 36

For me, it’s C, E, A, D, B. I could also go with E, C, A, D, B.

Curious to see how you rank them.[/quote]

Every piece of actual research about this issue accepts that there are SAT/ACT scores lower than 1400/32 and u/w GPAs lower than 3.7.[/quote]
