Do SATs really determine how well you do in college?

I’m sure it does. Otherwise, top schools wouldn’t make it such a huge factor in admissions. You can excuse that by saying that they are just doing it for the rankings (and I’m sure some are), but some schools do have a lot of integrity about their process. They probably aren’t itching to release any potentially offensive internal data that says that the vast majority of the population isn’t capable of succeeding at their school.
