Actually, both GPA and SATs are good predictors. A student with mediocre GPA but astronomic SAT will probably get mediocre GPA in college, but he’ll be able to handle a much more exclusive (SAT wise) school. A student with very high GPA but average SATs will also tend to get a high GPA in college, as long as he is not in a college where the average SAT is much above his.

There are always exceptions, of course. And very selective schools won’t accept a high SAT mediocre GPA student because they want to see a better work ethic than a lower GPA indicates.
