Association Between Undergraduate Performance Predictors and Academic and Clinical Performance of Osteopathic Medical Students.

Conclusion: The data indicate that traditional predictors of academic performance (undergraduate GPA, undergraduate science GPA, and MCAT scores) have small to moderate association with medical school grades and performance on COMLEX-USA Level 1 and Level 2-CE. This finding requires additional research into the value of the interview in the medical school admissions process and the availability of alternatives that allow better prediction and assessment of applicant performance.
