Sparks, P. Johnelle; Nuñez, Anne-Marie – Journal of Research in Rural Education, 2014
Students from rural areas are less likely than their urban or suburban counterparts to attend college (Adelman, 2002; Hu, 2003). Although theorists have postulated that institutional urbanicity directly affects college student outcomes (Berger & Milem, 2000), few, if any empirical studies have examined the relationship between an institution's…

Mattern, Krista D.; Patterson, Brian F.; Wyatt, Jeffrey N. – College Board, 2013
Research has consistently shown that traditional admission measures--SAT® scores and high school grade point average (HSGPA)--are valid predictors of early college performance such as first-year grades; however, their usefulness to predict later college outcomes has been questioned, especially for the SAT. This study builds on previous research…
