Issues in the prediction of graduate student success.

Examined data on Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores, grade point average (GPA) scores, and scores on the Miller Analogies Test from 78 graduate programs to determine whether the increased selectivity of students proposed by N. Hirschberg and S. Itkin (see record 1979-27229-001) has been accompanied by an increase in the quality of academic credentials. Advanced Psychology GRE scores and GPAs had increased. The need to examine candidate selection procedures and to consider other, career-oriented factors in student selection is emphasized. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)
