[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More evidence says high school performance is the strongest indicator. [/quote] But not as applied to these two highly competitive schools. It’s a different applicant body. I’m guessing effort is a bigger factor at less competitive school where most applicants don’t have straight As.[/quote] He is saying that lower is okay, but not too low. So a 30 ACT from a kid in a lower level HS is good, but if they kid only has a 26 they would struggle at D. That makes sense. Too low of a SAT/ACT does indicate probability of success is lower. They want to find the 3.9+ UW Gpa kids from troubled schools who will excel at their school. And yes, I do think some of it is the USNWR that for some reason added important to Pell grant grad rates. These schools have the opportunity to pick the top students in these categories and want to be able to do that. [/quote]
