Prediction of Grade Point Average (GPA) and Normative Data for University Freshmen. Indiana Studies in Higher Education No. 38.
Brigman, S. Leellen
The 4,987 freshmen who entered the Bloomington campus of Indiana University in the fall of 1977 were used to establish two schemes for predicting first-semester grade point averages. Three sets of prediction equations and a graphic scheme for determining probable grade point averages were provided. Entering freshmen norms were included for SAT scores, high school rank, and first-semester college grade point averages. When compared to the national norms on the SAT provided by the College Entrance Examination Board for the 1977 college-bound candidates, the average entering freshman at Indiana University scored slightly higher on both the SATV and SATM, and, on the whole, the Indiana University students were more homogeneous than the national group. Statistical tables are included in the report. (Author/LBH)
