Abstract	This report draws on combined sets of data to examine the relationship between students' academic performance and experiences in high school and how well they did in their initial year in college. Specifically, it looks at students who graduated from a Maryland high school in the 2003-2004 school year who enrolled at a Maryland college or university during the 2004-2005 academic year. The Maryland Higher Education Commission also examined the long-term graduation and transfer patterns of students who enrolled at public colleges and universities in fall 1994 through 2000 based on the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) and ACT (American College Testing Program) information. This analysis, which provided additional insight into the factors which impact college success, was performed by linking student records in the Commission's enrollment and degree systems with those from the expanded SOAR (Student Outcome and Achievement Report) files in corresponding years. The report contains four sections. The first section examines the differences between the college performance of students who did or did not complete a college preparatory curriculum in high school. The second section contains the results of a multiple regression analysis which seeks to identify the factors that best predict first-year college performance. The third section examines trends in the data since 1997-1998. The fourth section presents the four-year graduation and transfer rates of students from Maryland community colleges and the six-year graduation rates of students from public four-year institutions in the State on the basis of whether or not they took a college preparatory course of study in high school.
