We are trying to come up with a regression model that predicts university GPA. Is high school GPA a significant predictor for university GPA?

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

High school GPA is not a significant predictor of University GPA.

The Grade Point Average obtained at the end of high school education has almost nothing (in my opinion, it has nothing to do with) to do with grades that the scholar will obtain in college. Many scholars find it difficult adjusting to the social and academic life demands of tertiary institution.

A good predictor for university Grade Point Average would be:

The CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) obtained by the student(s) in each year/session/level/part in the university.

This will be a significant predictor for university GPA.
