I believe some of this has been around, but unfortunately
most evaluations
do not really test for the types of things that really show
student gains.
The SAT is actually highly correlated to Socio Economic
Status (SES). An
economist showed that colleges could get a better predictor
of success by
explicitly including SES. . . .
The easiest way of improving SAT
scores and college admissions is by getting the reputation of
being a "good"
school, and then by attracting high SES students.
