Academic and Nonacademic Factors Related to the Attrition Rate of Specially Admitted Black University Freshman Students

Abstract:

This study investigated the relationship between five independent variables (high school grade point averages, college entrance exam scores, personality, self-concept and college student satisfaction) and one dependent variable (college grade point average) concerning specially admitted black students at the University of Florida. This study also examined the relationship between college student satisfaction scores for these black students and two other variables, personality and self-concept.
