Abstract
National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowships are awarded to all ap plicants who receive the highest quality rating and to some of those w ho receive dle second-highest quality rating. Comparing the achievemen ts of these two groups of fellows (1967-1976 awards) provides a measur e of the predictive validity of the quality ratings assigned to applic ants by panels of judges. Quality ratings were related to likelihood o f Ph.D. completion primarily for fellows in mathematics, engineering, and physics and astronomy, and were related to several measures of ear ly career achievement for 1972-1976 fellows in psychology and social s ciences.
