t1388-thanks so much for your kind remark. I am glad you found the information helpful. Best of luck to your son.

Phead128-the SATs predict graduation rates, not just first year performance. The correlation between SATs and graduation rates is about +.8 to +.9. You can take the US News data for the top 100 universities and do the calculation yourself. Be sure to use a wide range of schools so you don’t run into the truncated range statistical problem. This myth about SATs only predicting first year is a result of trying to predict the outcomes for individual students rather than groups of students.
