The undergraduate grade-point average, scores on the Medical College Admission Tests and Parts I and II of the examinations of the National Board of Medical Examiners, medical school grades, and membership in Alpha Omega Alpha, the medical honor society, were compared for four categories of undergraduate majors to determine whether nonscience preparation was a handicap for medical training. Data for nine complete classes at one medical school were used. The results indicated that nonscience students performed as well as or better than traditional science trained students on almost all performance measures. Implications for medical school admissions policies are discussed.
对四类本科专业学生的本科平均绩点、医学院入学考试成绩、美国国家医学考试委员会第一和第二部分考试成绩、医学院成绩以及医学荣誉协会“阿尔法欧米茄阿尔法”的会员资格进行了比较，以确定非科学专业的准备是否对医学培训不利。使用了一所医学院九个完整班级的数据。结果表明，在几乎所有的成绩衡量标准上，非科学专业的学生表现与传统的理科专业学生相当，甚至更好。文中还讨论了对医学院招生政策的启示。
