[quote=Anonymous]Normally of course GPA would be a much stronger predictor of academic preparedness. But beginning some years ago, and really accelerating during Covid, grade inflation became rampant. Do you know how many 4.0 students there are at Whitman or Churchill? It's a lot. So GPA by itself is no longer a great measurement of anything. The SAT/ACT isn't perfect. The people that study or do a formal test prep do better than kids taking it cold. But that's more a parental failure - not being aware of online and other resources. And at competitive schools, those 100-200 points matter. So kids with better informed parents have an advantage over kids with low information parents. Same as always. But studying for the test and mastering the material is demonstrative of a good, disciplined student. So it does matter. [/quote]
