In this study, the undergraduate major area of study and thirteen undergraduate environment indices were used in combination with the LSAT and UGPA to predict LGPA.The first-year LGPA was obtained for 639 Law School students at Indiana University (HI.) who had received their undergraduate degrees at other than I.U. (non-I.U.). After being grouped into undergraduate major area categories, the students were divided into two random samples within each category. One sample was used to determine the predictor measures which significantly contributed to the estimation of LGPA and the second sample was used to determine if the finding would be replicated. The results generally indicate that, using undergraduate major area of study and the undergraduate institution...
