Lang, Dwight

Educational Research Quarterly, v9 n3 p2-6 1985

Data from a 1975 survey using a large sample were analyzed to study the interactions among sex, race, social class, undergraduate grade point average, and the rank of the graduate or professional school attended. Results indicated strong associations between students' academic merit and attendance at prestigious colleges. (GDC)
