Abstract
There has been a great of research conducted to find factors which can be used to predict academic success. A number of these factors have already been identified. For example, college board scores, high school rank, and high school grades are widely used a predictors of academic success. Most of the research that has been conducted has dealt with intellectual factor, but there has been some research done to find non-intellectual factors related to academic success. These non-intellectual factors include: study habits, personality, traits, and environmental factors.
One possible predictor of academic success which has received little attention is biographical data. Last year there were 51 studies reported which dealt with the prediction of academic success. Of these 51 studies, only 2 dealt with the use of biographical data as a predictor of academic success.
