The study supports admissions by identifying candidate predictors. Admission-related inputs—Optometry Admission Test (OAT) scores, interview scores, and undergraduate plus optometry GPA—were collected from 175 students admitted in 2001–2002. Statistical comparisons and regression modeling quantified differences between students who failed didactic coursework and those who passed, yielding equations for GPA prediction and failure

school  \nAbstract  \nIntroduction:Predicting success in optometry school is a challenging task which involves evaluatingmany academic and non-academic qualities.This study aids in the process of selecting candidates whoare likely to be successful in the challenging optometric curriculum.  \nMethods:Optometry Admission Test(OAT)scores,interview scores,and undergraduate and optometrygrade point averages(GPA)were gathered for 175 students admitted to Pacific University College ofOptometry in 2001 and 2002.At-test compared characteristics of students who failed at least onedidactic course in optometry school with students who passed all optometry courses.Regressionanalysis was then used to establish equations to predict academic performance.  \nResults and Discussion:All undergraduate GPA variables and most OAT subsections demonstrated asignificant difference between students who failed an optometry course and those who did not.ReadingComprehension OAT,Physics OAT,and the interview score did not demonstrate a statistically significantdifference between the two groups.Three equations were developed to help predict GPA in optometryschool and to predict the probability of a student failing an optometric course.  \nConclusion:The equations discussed can be used by admission committees as one tool to help in theapplication process and to predict success prior to admitting optometlic students.  \nDegree Type  \nThesis  \nDegree Name  \nMaster of Science in Vision Science  \nCommittee Chair  \nDenise Goodwin  \nKeywords  \nadmission,optometric education,grade point
