Abstract

Admissions officials are asked to make decisions about individual students based upon the information that can be known prior to enrollment.  In the present study we show that first-term success of previous students from a given high school can be a significant predictor of first-term success of individual students after accounting for other variables; such as standardized test scores and class standing; that are also known prior to initial enrollment.
