Abstract	The primary purpose of the study is to assess the degree to which SAT scores, high-school GPA (HSGPA) and class rank predict success in college. Data collected from students enrolled in several sections of Principles of Economics at the University of South Carolina in 2000 and 2001 are used to study the relation between college GPA (the dependent variable) and high-school rank, HSGPA, and SAT scores (the key independent variables). The authors also investigate whether there are race-sex differences in the likelihood of success in college. Further, they study the degree to which students with varying backgrounds are likely to be eligible for statewide scholarships and to retain them after enrollment. [SAT = Scholastic Assessment Test; GPA = Grade Point Average] (DIPF/Orig.).
