Download or read book Factors Affecting Medical School Admission Decisions for Minority and Majority Applicants written by Albert P. Williams and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1979 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines and compares admissions processes of ten medical schools from 1973 through 1975 for majority and minority applicants. Logit analysis is used to estimate weights given to GPA, MCAT, state of residence, and so on in deciding which applicants to admit. Science MCAT was the most heavily weighted component of the standardized test for majority applicants, followed by Verbal and Quantitative MCATS. Almost all schools favor majority applicants from their parent university's undergraduate school, and being a home state resident always improves admission chances. Undergraduate science grades and Science MCAT scores were heavily weighted in minority admissions decisions but there was no consistent weighting of Verbal or Quantitative MCAT. There is strong evidence of affirmative action: Minority applicants with better than a 50-50 chance of admission would rarely have had a better than a 1 in 20 chance of admission if evaluated by majority standards. 95 pp. Ref.

This book was released on 2010-05-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Affirmative action is one of the central issues of American politics today, and admission to colleges and universities has been at the center of the debate. While this issue has been discussed for years, there is very little real data on the impact of affirmative action programs on admissions to institutions of higher learning. Susan Welch and John Gruhl in this groundbreaking study look at the impact on admissions of policies developed in the wake of the United States Supreme Court's landmark 1978 Bakke decision. In Bakke, the Court legitimized the use of race as one of several factors that could be considered in admissions decisions, while forbidding the use of quotas. Opponents of affirmative action claim that because of the Bakke decision thousands of less-qualified minorities have been granted admission in preference to more qualified white students; proponents claim that without the affirmative action policies articulated in Bakke, minorities would not have made the gains they have made in higher education. Based on a survey of admissions officers for law and medical schools and national enrollment data, the authors give us the first analysis of the real impact of the Bakke decision and affirmative action programs on enrollments in medical and law schools. Admission to medical schools and law schools is much sought after and is highly competitive. In examining admissions patterns to these schools the authors are able to identify the effects of affirmative action programs and the Bakke decision in what may be the most challenging case. This book will appeal to scholars of race and gender in political science, sociology and education as well as those interested in the study of affirmative action policies. Susan Welch is Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Professor of Political Science, Pennsylvania State University. John Gruhl is Professor of Political Science, University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical school admissions committees face difficult problems in evaluating medical school applicants with different backgrounds. Preadmission data from the classes of 1975 and 1976 at nine medical schools are used to develop models for predicting how majority and minority students perform on the Part I and II National Board exams. There are notable differences between the majority and minority prediction models: in particular, measures of science achievement (GPA and Science MCAT) are the most reliable predictors for majority students whereas measures of general aptitude and achievement (Verbal and Quantitative MCAT) are as important as science achievement in predicting minority performance. The odds are about 3 to 2 that an individual majority student will score higher on the National Boards than a minority student with the same characteristics. Medical schools should be able to improve the academic quality of minority students by using different admission criteria. 75 pp. Ref.
