16. After adjusting for effects due to all other variables (ethnic/racial group, gender, residency, and first generation)… Note: Almost all of the positive effect of Index is attributable to the High School GPA factor within the Index. Standardized tests (ACT or SAT scores) contribute little to the prediction. *** p<0.01, ** p<0.05, * p<0.1
