From multivariate descriptions of undergraduates, seven success patterns and five nonsuccess patterns are identified as prevalent types of student performance in one college community. The discriminant functions underlying these two typologies partially substantiate the dimensions in Clark and Trow’s typology of college student subcultures. Students categorized into the twelve types show significant differences in demographic characteristics, admissions credentials, college performance, and post-college plans. Quantified admissions data favor some types of students over others. The results suggest that colleges present students with a complexity of subenvironments, each of which emphasizes and rewards different patterns of behavior
