The article by Woo et al. (this issue) reviews the existing research on graduate-school admissions measures. The goal of this commentary is to expand on their review and suggest several ways of supplementing the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) to both increase the predictive validity of admissions decisions and improve the diversity of a graduate program. We rely on several decades of research to suggest assessing both conscientiousness and vocational interests and combining the scores from these predictors with the GRE to inform admissions decisions. In addition, we also propose several ways of expanding recruitment efforts to attract qualified underrepresented minority applicants to improve the diversity of the applicant pool.
吴等人(本期)的文章回顾了关于研究生招生措施的现有研究。本评论的目的是在他们的综述基础上进行拓展,并提出几种补充研究生入学考试(GRE)的方法,以提高招生决策的预测效度并改善研究生项目的多样性。我们依据数十年的研究建议,评估尽责性和职业兴趣,并将这些预测指标的分数与GRE分数相结合,为招生决策提供参考。此外,我们还提出了几种扩大招生努力的方法,以吸引合格的、代表性不足的少数族裔申请人,从而改善申请人池的多样性。
