Abstract

One of the many services that the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides is counseling for students who intend to pursue admission to medical or dental school. JoAnn Litton, the Senior Academic Advisor of the Pre-Professional programs for CLAS, was interested in determining reliable predictors of MCAT scores and medical/dental school admission rates based on past applicants who have used the services of CLAS Academic Advising Center. As statistical consultants, it was our job to analyze a dataset provided by the Advising Center containing multiple academic measures in order to find and report which variables were most reliable.
