[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's obvious that GPAs are not standard, and really can't be, but it's fascinating to me that they are still the best predictor of a student's success in college.[/quote] Actually, most colleges are saying the SAT is the best predictor.[/quote] I thought they only predicted freshman year grades in college. Anyway, my 1130 son is kicking ass in college. He has a 3.7 gpa because he finally no longer needs to take the math courses that tanked his grades. He is a writing tutor in the writing center at his college and has won some awards. I’m thankful that he didn’t need to submit that 1130. My own SAT score back in the Stone Age was 1010. I now have two Master’s degrees. My brother got a 1300+ and failed out of his freshman year. Test scores aren’t everything. [/quote]
