Abstract: Analysis of admission records for 439 applicants to Texas A&M University's medical school compared applicants actually admitted under a formula that equally weighted academic and interview scores, with applicants who would have been admitted under two different weighting formulas. Results indicate that readjusting criteria weights may help meet the goal of educating doctors who will practice in underserved areas. (Author/MSE)
