The attributes of 2,304 applicants for admission to the University of the Witwatersrand Medical School were analysed. Those measured by previous academic performance, biographical history and assessment at interview were significantly different. Inclusion of non-academic criteria in admission decisions broadens the personal attributes of the class, and alters the ethnic and gender composition, without affecting subsequent failure rate.
对申请威特沃特斯兰德大学医学院的2304名申请人的各项特质进行了分析。那些通过以往学业成绩、个人经历和面试评估来衡量的特质存在显著差异。在录取决策中纳入非学术标准,拓宽了班级的个人特质范围,并改变了种族和性别构成,同时不影响后续的不及格率。
