The GRE (Graduate Record Examination) scores and grades of graduate students are likely to have the lowest correlation among the options provided. This is because, by the time students reach graduate school, factors such as research skills, time management, specific course content, and the ability to apply knowledge practically play a more significant role in determining grades than the general aptitudes measured by the GRE.
