SAT scores as predictors of desirable college traits

<p>Agreed. This is interesting nonetheless, but the graduation rate correlation probably has more to do with the fact that high-score kids are more motivated and thus more likely to graduate from any institution. But, like CCers, they’re attracted to prestigious schools in droves, upping Harvard, etc’s graduation rates.</p>

<p>Of course, the fact that Ivies (excluding Princeton) have massive grad inflation may be part of the correlation as well–and the reason the tech schools see lower grad rates despite comparable scores.</p>
