Although they are valued for their perceived maturity, resiliency, and diverse insight into dentistry, postbaccalaureate and graduate (PBGR) applicants face significant challenges in the admissions process. This study looks at how PBGR applicants are evaluated during the selection process at a US dental school. An analysis of metrics associated with PBGR applicants was performed, focusing on the demographic makeup, academic performance, and total experience hours compared to traditional applicants. Our results suggest that PBGR applicants who are successful in their postbaccalaureate/graduate course of study are also more likely to be admitted if they have a history of strong undergraduate performance. Our results also suggest that PBGR applicants with high self-disclosed employment hours are strongly considered. Taken together, these results suggest that holistic review has helped PBGR applicants in the admissions process but that further adjustments need to be implemented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
