The goal of this study was to investigate associations between admissions
criteria and performance in Ph.D. programs at Boston University School of
Medicine. The initial phase of this project examined student performance in the
classroom component of a newly established curriculum named "Foundations in
Biomedical Sciences (FiBS)". Quantitative measures including undergraduate grade
point average (GPA), graduate record examination (GRE; a standardized,
computer-based test) scores for the verbal (assessment of test takers' ability to
analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information and concepts provided in writing)
and quantitative (assessment of test takers' problem-solving ability) components
of the examination, previous research experience, and competitiveness of previous
research institution were used in the study. These criteria were compared with
competencies in the program defined as students who pass the curriculum as well
as students categorized as High Performers. These data indicated that there is a
significant positive correlation between FiBS performance and undergraduate GPA,
GRE scores, and competitiveness of undergraduate institution. No significant
correlations were found between FiBS performance and research background. By
taking a data-driven approach to examine admissions and performance, we hope to
refine our admissions criteria to facilitate an unbiased approach to recruitment
of students in the life sciences and to share our strategy to support similar
goals at other institutions.
