  1. College Board Study:Predictive Validity of the SAT & the Relationship with IUPUI Admission Standards Gary Pike, Ph.D., Executive Director, Information Management & Institutional Research Chris J. Foley Director of Undergraduate Admissions October 2013

  2. Guiding Principles for Setting Standards • Consider the impact on the size and the composition of the incoming class; • Set standards that select students who have a reasonable chance of success; • Retain academic performance in high school as the primary element; • Use standardized test scores only in collaboration with another predictor of success (e.g., academic performance in high school); • Supported by research on use of test scores in predicting student success when used with other factors; • Construct guidelines that would be easily communicated to audiences to ensure transparency of decisions. • Consider both internal and external audiences

  3. Current Factors for Freshman Admission Decisions(from most to least important) • Curricular Rigor • Students with Academic Honors are admitted regardless of GPA or test score • Cumulative High School GPA • We take the best of either the weighted or unweighted GPA • Core 40 students with a 3.5 HS GPA or higher are admitted regardless of test score • SAT or ACT score • We “super-score” both the SAT and ACT • We take the best of either the SAT or ACT

  4. Admission Standards for Freshman Applicants with Core 40 Diploma Only

  5. Measures Related to First-Year GPA • Strong Predictors • High School GPA • SAT (Critical Reading + Math) • Moderate Predictors • Number of AP Exams Taken • Number of Honors/AP Courses Taken • Weak Predictors • Years of math in High School • Years of English in High School

  6. Predictive Accuracy of the Model

  7. Predictive Accuracy for Groups
