<p>^^^So you think grades measure commitment more thoroughly. </p>
<p>I think your idea that LAHC gets better grades than HALC is only true outside of the top colleges in the USA. A LAHC at a top school will really struggle, because their low aptitude is extremely unique (most students at that school will have very HA relative to most college students)–and professors can weed out students without failing too many. I’ve never attended a community college, but I imagine a HALC can’t be weeded out without failing a majority of the class. </p>
<p>The only way your matrix makes sense is if aptitude and commitment are strictly relative terms that compare only students within the same college.</p>
