A survey of applicants to oral surgery graduate programs was distributed to 170 candidates requesting application forms from the University of Kentucky. Eighty-five applicants responded. The average candidate was approximately 28 years old, married, and attended dental school in the southeast or midwest. He applied to ten programs and viewed a personal interview as an important part of the application process. Traditional criteria such as basic science grades and class rank were not uniformly considered as important factors in the initial screening of candidates. Other views and criticisms of the applicants are examined and suggestions are provided to reduce some of the apparent inequities now inherent to the system.
一项针对口腔外科研究生项目申请者的调查被分发给了170名向肯塔基大学索取申请表的候选人。85名申请者回复了调查。申请者的平均年龄约为28岁，已婚，曾在东南部或中西部地区的牙科学校就读。他申请了10个项目，并将个人面试视为申请过程中的一个重要部分。诸如基础科学成绩和班级排名等传统标准在对候选人的初步筛选中并未被一致视为重要因素。文中还审视了申请者的其他观点和批评意见，并提出了一些建议，以减少目前该体系中一些明显的不公平现象。
