[quote=Anonymous] [quote]The Washington Post article above (21:32) is about a young man with a 2270 SAT score who did not get accepted at JMU. Unfortunately, he had a 3.4 GPA. Even considering that this happened back before FCPS had changed its grading policies, a high SAT score just can not make up for a lower GPA. This score was only 170 points away from perfect, but it did not matter without the GPA to back it up. A perfect score would not have made a difference in this case. Many schools don't even look at SAT/ACT scores so it is really the GPA and course choices that matter the most.[/quote] This proves nothing. One does not have complete information. I have seen Valedictorians with perfect SAT scores get rejected from facts contained in letters of reference (lukewarm recommendations, character issues, history of plagiarism, etc). Your scenario does not proove causation. You did not have the full picture of the candidate. [/quote]
