Postbaccalaureate preparation and performance in medical school.
Medical students with some postbaccalaureate preparations were compared with those without such preparations. Before adjustment for undergraduate GPAs significant differences were observed in the favor of those without such preparations, but after adjustments for undergraduate GPAs, the previously obtained differences became either non-significant, or significant in the favor of those with postbaccalaurate preparations.
