fluff-based HS GPA as college grade predictor?

<p>We really looked into this aspect when my youngest son and I were looking at colleges for him. He did very well on projects but tended to freeze up on the big tests in HS. We specifically asked how knowledge was assessed at each college once we realized it’s importance. He chose his college knowing that they tend to grade more on projects and papers then on scantron type tests. His GPA for his freshman year at College is 3.8.</p>
