Looks like Forbes earlier this month posted on this topic, at https://www.forbes.com/sites/prestoncooper2/2018/06/11/what-... . "What Predicts College Completion? High School GPA Beats SAT Score"

> For instance, a student with a high SAT score (above 1100) but a middling high school GPA (between 2.67 and 3.0) has an expected graduation rate of 39%. But students with the opposite credentials—mediocre SAT scores but high GPAs—graduate from college at a 62% rate.

> Put another way, the expected graduation rate of a student with a given GPA doesn’t change very much depending on her SAT score. But the expected graduation rate of a student with a given SAT score varies tremendously depending on her GPA.
