Differentiation of successful and unsuccessful premedical students

Abstract

The performance of 102 male nonveteran premedical students, as measured by high school rank, ACE test scores, Cooperative English test scores and a variety of nonintellective variables including the Physician scale of the Strong VIB, were used to attempt to predict (a) freshmen honorpoint ratio, (b) continuation in the premedical curriculum, and (c) acceptance by a medical school. The intellective measures were found to be useful predictors, but the nonintellective measures were not. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
