Another Salvo in the SAT Wars
As highly selective colleges drop their SAT requirements for graduation, there's this article to consider from someone who had a lot of information at his disposal - Peter Salins, who was Provost of the State University of New York System from 1997 to 2006 on Does the SAT Predict College Success?
Salins has one criterion for success - graduation in 6 years. He had a big system with some variety in the schools to look at. His answer? Yes. Go read and see.
You'd think this is a question we could have answered to general satisfaction long ago, given the energy that's been poured into it. Perhaps that in itself is a lesson about the social sciences?
