Undergraduate Selectivity ?
In the absence of more specific information, an institution's undergraduate selectivity can predict, roughly, the selectivity of its graduate programs. However, this variable has limited predictive power. Institutions with less selective undergraduate admissions may have very selective graduate programs in some fields. The converse is also true.For prospective teaching assistants, undergraduate selectivity can indicate the average student caliber in classes you may be asked to teach.
