Because of lack of some reference, education background and the grades are used as proxy of fresh graduate’s ability. An important research question is: does the development of graduates’ talent of cultivation correspond to the real needs in the practice? The data was collected from one 98 academic year class as research sample. We trace their study performance from the freshman year to senior year. The General Scholastic Ability Test (GSAT) was viewed as an ability base of graduates in the workplace, besides, the participation of activity was used to judge their skills of interpersonal interaction. The major findings were listed as followed:（1）Total scores and English scores in GSAT were positively correlated. Therefore, those who got better scores in GSAT, also had better performance in similar subjects. Furthermore, for the required course with original textbooks, those who got higher English scores would performed better than those who got poor scores.（2）The performance of study had a continuity, which meant those who get good grades in freshman year would keep their performance, and those who get worse grades did not change the results either.（3）The GSAT and activities were slightly correlated, the reason may be the GSAT scores mainly reflected the knowledge and skills learned in high school, however, the activities participation is affected by more other factors.（4）Study performance and activity participation were correlated, but that and club participation and cadres holding were not.（5）Girls excel in academic performance, while boys perform better in activity participation.
