Abstract

This case study was designed to demonstrate how an institution could use readily available archival data to produce a simple yet informative validity study as a necessary step in understanding the effectiveness of their selection process. Results indicated the GRE does not significantly predict graduate school success across all disciplines tested, but demonstrates some utility for specific disciplines. Additionally, prior undergraduate GPA was the best predictor for future GPA. (EV)
