Abstract

The purpose of the study reported here was to determine the relationship between Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores and Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores of black students who had participated in a summer program for minority students interested in health careers held at the Medical College of Georgia. A significant correlation was established between these students' SAT and MCAT scores. These findings suggest that students who are likely to perform well in medical school can be selected for medical school while they are still underclassmen, accepted conditionally, and admitted after completing a prescribed curriculum. Early selection has implications for increasing the number of minority students in medicine and for permitting more liberal arts in the premedical education than the present selection process.
