I think ACT/SAT scores are an even worse predictor of college success than HS GPAs. 50% of it is just not getting nervous when you take the darn test. I've seen intelligent, straight A students totally bomb on it.

It would be a lot easier if everyone had deferred rush and what your HS grades had been would be a moot point since everyone would have a college GPA, from that college. But I know I'm shouting into the wind on that one.
