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]

DP: I would not rank these students based on that data. Clearly, there all in pool and over the academic achievement hump. My decision about who to select would be based on other factors. They are all well positioned to achieve great things academically. If I could only choose one of them, I would need more information.[/quote]
