Planning for Imminent Change in College Admissions: Research on Alternative Admissions Criteria.

Bennett, D. Tyson; Wesley, Homer; Dana-Wesley, Marion

Journal of College Student Retention, v1 n1 p83-92 1999

Presents an alternative college admission model that may afford protection from controversy over admission selectivity, yet maintain a reasonable degree of variability in predicting students' future academic success. The model links prospective students' grade point averages, rank in class, and a district performance index or similar predictor, using these criteria as an alternative to standardized test scores.
