The purpose of this study was to learn whether differential validity would occur in an Ivy League college. The apparently high validity of secondary school marks and the SAT for predicting collegiate marks broke down when the sample was divided into racial groups. The validity of the test was quite low for both racial groups, contrary to the results of studies in other colleges. However, the test showed more predictability for females than for males. Differential validity among socioeconomic groups was minimal.
