Early Graduate School Plans: Uninformed Expectations?

Rajecki, D. W.; Lauer, Joan B.; Metzner, Barbara S.

Journal of College Student Development, v39 n6 p629-32 Nov-Dec 1998

Offers a method for investigation of the strength of association between undergraduates' postgraduate educational plans and their knowledge of probable admissions requirements, and personnel academic qualifications. Results show that students' GPA and estimates of required GPA for graduate-school admission accounted for no more that 1% of the variance in plans to go to graduate school in psychology.
