Predicting the success of freshmen in a computer science major

What is the statistical relationship between a student's entrance characteristics--SAT scores, high-school rank, and high-school science and math background--and his or her success in the first year of a computer science major? The results of a statistical study indicate that students who persisted in the computer science major, or who switched to engineering or another science, differed from students who switched to other fields, in terms of these characteristics.
