Early and late applicants to Mt. San Antonio College were compared in this study on the basis of grade point average and number of course units completed. Both full-time and part-time students who applied early were compared to students who applied late. All of the students studied were admitted for the fall 1972-73 semester. The dropout rate of early and late applying students was also compared. There was no significant difference revealed in the grade point average of new full-time and part-time students applying early and those applying late. (SW)
