Abstract:
The relation between student selection methods, including results of entrance examinations, and progress after admission was analyzed by means of path analysis and discriminant analysis in 318 sudents. Among students who had been admitted on the basis of an open entrance examination, those with rank in high school record from high school and female students performed better in medical school, whereas students who had prepared for the entrance examination after graduation from high school performed worse. On the other hand, students who had rank in high school record from high shool, who had higher interview evaluations, or who had earned a degree other than a medical degree were more likely to pass the national examination for medical practitioners after a minimum of 6 years of study. Among students who had been admitted on the recommendations of high shool principals, those with better grades during high school records and higher interview evaluations had a higher success rate on the national examination for medical practitioners.
