Al‑Asmar*, Yara Oweis, Noor H. Ismail, Alaa H. A. Sabrah and Islam M. Abd‑Raheam  \nAbstract  \nBackground: In a country where admission to dental schools is based solely on the cognitive abilities of students, the aim of the study was to investigate the correlation between high school grade point average and graduating aca‑ demic achievement for dental students; moreover, determine whether a correlation exists between dental students’graduating academic achievement and their career choices and job satisfaction.  \nMethods: A five‑year retrospective cohort study was conducted at the University of Jordan, involving (828) den‑ tal graduates first enrolled between 2010 and 2014. Correlations comparing high school grade point average and graduating academic achievement were done for the total sample composed of (736) students. A short survey was constructed to assess the career choices and job satisfaction for recently graduated dentists and correlate them with their graduating academic achievement.  \nResults: Statistically significant but weak positive correlation (0 . 3) was found between high school grade point aver‑ age and graduating academic achievement for dental students (p≤0. 05) . Statistically significant correlations were found between graduating academic achievement and career choices and job satisfaction.  \nConclusion: The significant positive correlation between the high school grade point average and graduating academic achievement of our dental students indicate that our school admission system depending on high school grade point average is a valid system. There was a significant negative correlation between the graduating academic achievement and both the career choices and job satisfaction among fresh graduate dentists in Jordan. This informa‑ tion is required to update the dental school admissions procedures in response to the changing dental educational landscape.  \nKeywords: Grade point average, Academic, Dental, Student, Career  \nBackground  \nIntellectual abilities and cognitive components are fundamental elements for a successful dentist. The role of these cognitive factors in the prediction of academic performance and professional success is controversial [1].  \n*Correspondence: [dr.ayahalasmar@yahoo.com](dr.ayahalasmar@yahoo.com)  \nDepartment of Conservative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan  \nDental schools are faced with an ongoing challenge of selecting the most qualified students to fill a limited number of openings each year, which adds pressure on the educators to select prospective students based on cognitive and noncognitive merits thus ensure fewer students leave the program prematurely and a higher standard of dentists are produced [2]. It is thought that the predictive admission procedures can reduce dropout rates, improve the average academic performance, and selectively exclude applicants who are unlikely to be successful  \n© The Author(s) 2021.
