Abstract:
This study examined race and gender group differences in academic performance measures that are
widely used in college admissions and personnel selection contexts. Each of the study variables (e.g.,
SAT, high school GPA, and college GPA) were examined over time, but the group differences in GPA
were significantly lower than other assessments used in employment. The findings reveal that women
across two ethnic groups performed better than men in academic outcomes that should result in a higher rate of selection success when GPA is used. The implications for personnel strategies are discussed with suggestions for future research.
