<p>goingnutsmom, you obviously failed to analyze what the numbers provided by Tk mean. </p>
<p>Let’s take Stanford as an example. According to TK’s data, 20% of Stanford’s students do NOT graduate within 4 years. If that batch had about 1,600 students as freshmen, that means 320 high-SAT students do not graduate on time. Which only reinforces my claim that having high SAT alone does not guarantee academic success. The best gauge is a combination of high GPA & high SAT/ACT scores. </p>
