[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what they have in Asia...the best and the brightest float to the top. I would nix any consideration of GPA [b]which relies far too heavily on effort[/b].[/quote] A lot of success in school and life is about effort. Why would you want to deemphasize effort? Who wants a bunch of underachievers in the best schools?[/quote] This. Effort and conscientiousness are FAR more important that raw aptitude. That said, the SAT is not an IQ or aptitude test. College Board even says so. So people wanting to deemphasize GPA because it reflects effort think that the SAT measures what exactly?[/quote]
