College Grades and Adult Achievement: A Research Synthesis.
Cohen, Peter A.
Research in Higher Education, v20 n3 p281-93 1984
A meta-analytic method synthesized results of 108 studies of the relationship between college grades and various criteria of adult achievement or success. Results showed little correlation, although effects were larger for military settings and studies before 1950. The predictive value of grades is questioned. (MSE)
