New article in the NYTimes from a U of Chicago Booth School prof of behavioral economics.
He suggests that college admission offices revise how they evaluate HS students GPA’s and standardized test scores, in order to admit students who are more likely to graduate from college.
I agree with his premise.
Thoughts?

It would seem to be incredibly difficult. Some schools simply need paying customers. Some students aren’t ready for the college workload or the independence, regardless of how closely you try to analyze them.
Another thread previously posted on the subject:
That thread is in college admissions- not the parent’s forum.
I think most college admissions officers intuitively know that HS grade trends (upwards or downwards) are linked to college completion rates but it is nice to have some data to back up that theory.
