[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More evidence says high school performance is the strongest indicator. [/quote]

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

I was the opposite, I took easy classes and got bad grades in both high school and college, but scored high on the SAT. Now I manage people who went to more prestigious colleges who have degrees relevant to our work. [/quote]

My so is exactly like you! High SATs/PSATs but mediocre grades because of subjects he doesn't like/care about.  What do you do for a living?[/quote]

The issue with high scores and low GPA is everyone wonders when the student will decide to give 100% to everything important, not just what interests them.  It shows you are capable of more effort than you are putting forth.  I agree most like you do come into their own and do well in life, but some take longer than others to realize they have to do well at things that dont interest them as well if it's part of the job
