The reason why GRE scores do not adequately predict grad. school performance
is twofold.  First, real world issues like having to eat predict progress
in the program and likelihood of finishing.  Second, there is a far more
restricted range for graduate gpa than for undergraduate gpa, which means
that one has less variability and lower parameter estimates for predicting
graduate gpa.
