This study examines predictors of academic success in a private women's college. We investigated academic factors (e.g., high school grade point average, standardized test scores) and socioeconomic status (e.g., parents' occupation, need for financial aid) as possible predictors of academic success among White and non-White students. Data was collected archivally from 299 former students at a small, Midwestern private women's college. We found that academic factors were good predictors of college success in general but especially for White students. Among non-White students, only high school grade point average (G.P.A.) and class rank predicted college success. Students who indicated a need for financial aid tended to have higher G.P.A.s than those who did not indicate such as need. Our results indicate that women's institutions should carefully consider the use of standardized test scores when evaluating non-White applicants.
