Says the parent whose kid has a 4.4 GPA and is a “bad test taker.” LOL[/quote]

:lol:  :lol:  Yep.  The "bad test taker" crowd will be out in full force dissing that dean fella! That's the only outcome they can't buy their way to, so they don't want it but pretend it helps the 'underprivileged' they pretend to care about.  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

Nope - My DC had both very high test scores and GPA that they worked very hard for. They won awards in STEM field at undergrad and post grad level but their supervisor pointed out it was their work ethic that set them apart.

I place much more store by consistent hard work ethic: Unsurprisingly, credible studies support that GPA is much more important than test scores for predicting future college success.  [/quote]

Yes--it's the work ethic that will get you much further in life as well.  I'll take a 3.9+ GPA kid with a 1400 anyway over a 1600/3.75 gpa kid who didn't see the need to complete assignments on time/do the work needed to earn As in HS (or college).  Strong work ethic and a smart person will go further than a smart person who only wants to work if it interests them. [/quote]

That's not actually true. Most people choose a career that interests them.
