It's a long internal story why I did this but I computed the correlation 
between hs gpa, SAT verbal, SAT math scores, and first semester gpa for a 
subset of our freshmen last fall. (Too complicated here to explain how I picked 
the subset).

Bottom line: almost zero correlation between hsgpa and college gpa. Almost zero 
correlation between hsgpa and both SAT measures. SAT verbal was the best 
predictor of collge gpa (probably because freshmen level courses require a lot 
of reading and comprehension) and SAT math was OK but not great.

Not using the SAT is a huge mistake IMHO.
