| Abstract | The graduation and attrition patterns of black students at North Carolina State University are reported in an effort to provide data pertinent to minority students. Black students were identified after 1969 by means of an ethnic card completed during the registration process. The report is based on all black students (N=80) who entered NCSU as new freshmen in the fall of 1969 and 1970. Verbal and math scores from the Scholastic Aptitude Tests, converted high school rank, and grade-point average (GPA) at the end of the first academic year were collected for each student. By using the prediction equations in effect during this year of application, a predicted grade-average was computed for each student according to the school he entered. Grade reports were reviewed to determine whether a student had been suspended, withdrew, graduated, or whether he was still enrolled from the time of entry through the spring of 1974. The report shows that SAT and high school rank, when used alone, were not good predictors of performance for this group. When used together in certain combinations to form the predicted grade average, their ability to indicate success was improved. First year GPA appears to be a good measure of eventual success for black students. In fact, black students in this study had a probability of graduation that was at least as high as other students with the same first-year GPA. (JMF) |
