  14. Using just SAT's you get a positive correlation coefficient with GPA of between
  15. 0.3 and 0.4. If you include Achievements you get between 0.4 and 0.5. If you
  16. include a very simple formula based on grades and weight the achievements and
  17. SAT's appropriatelly you get about 0.55.
