Abstract | The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which cognitive and non-cognitive measures predict academic success for conditionally-admitted students enrolled in a comprehensive public university. Stepwise multiple regression analyses reveal that one cognitive variable (high school grade point average) and two non-cognitive measures (realistic self-appraisal and understanding and coping with racism) are the three best predictors of first semester grade point average (GPA) for conditionally-admitted freshmen students. Practical implications for admission counselors are revealed in the findings. (Contains 4 tables.) (As Provided). |
