Performance ratings were obtained by the clinical supervisors of four graduated classes of McMaster University medical students during internship. The supervisors detected no difference in performance between the graduates who met the "traditional" admissions criteria (both an undergraduate grade point average of 3.1 or greater on a 4-point scale and previous training in biology, general and organic chemistry, and physics) and those who lacked one or both of these prerequisites. These data suggest that medical schools can expand their admissions criteria without fearing that their graduates will perform less well as interns because of a lack of traditional academic preparation for medical school.
麦克马斯特大学医学院四个毕业班的临床实习主管在实习期间给出了绩效评级。主管们发现，符合“传统”录取标准（本科平均绩点在4分制中达到3.1或更高，且之前接受过生物学、普通化学、有机化学和物理方面的培训）的毕业生与不具备这些条件中一项或两项的毕业生在表现上没有差异。这些数据表明，医学院可以放宽录取标准，而不必担心由于缺乏传统的医学院学术准备，其毕业生在实习时表现不佳。
