Abstract | The findings for the 2008 sample are largely consistent with the previous reports. SAT scores were found to be correlated with FYGPA (r = 0.54), with a magnitude similar to HSGPA (r = 0.56). The best set of predictors of FYGPA remains SAT scores and HSGPA (r = 0.63), as the addition of the SAT sections to the correlation of HSGPA alone with FYGPA leads to a substantial improvement in prediction (?r = 0.07). This finding was consistent across all subgroups of the sample, by both institutional characteristics and demographics (?r = 0.06). All correlations presented here have been corrected for restriction of range, but the same basic patterns hold for the raw correlations. The following are appended: (1) Institutions Providing First-Year Outcomes Data for the 2008 Cohort; (2) Raw Correlations of SAT and HSGPA with FYGPA by Institutional Characteristics ; and (3) Raw Correlation of SAT Scores and HSGPA with FYGPA by Subgroups. (As Provided). |
