Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical relationship between college entrance requirements, college persistence, and academic performance. The author reviews how Selective college admissions have historically been tied to socioeconomic status rather than academic capability, which has resulted in a great deal of self-selection. The author presents data stretching back nearly a century which shows that college entrance requirements are generally poor predictors of success. Further, most of the historically predictive value of these entrance requirements stems from socioeconomic factors (family income, parentsâ education, access to resources) more than actual student aptitude. The book finds that the academic performance of students is most accurately predicted by their socioeconomic status. However, non-academic factors such as career goals, personality traits, and personal circumstances also play a role. College persistence, or a student's likelihood to drop out, is also shown to be connected to factors beyond academic ability, supporting the authorâs argument that non-cognitive factors matter more for retention than they do for admission. The author concludes that college admissions should focus less on standardized test scores and high school GPA and more on encouraging applications from students from all backgrounds. To improve retention, colleges should provide more support services for students from disadvantaged backgrounds and those who need extra help adjusting to college life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
