title: Acing the test.
abstract: With substantial class size increases at Texas medical schools over the past several years and the opening of the Texas Tech University Paul L. Foster School of Medicine in El Paso, there was uncertainty among many medical educators about whether the overall qualifications of some medical school applicants might drop. But, according to data released by the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service, grade point averages and scores on the Medical College Admission Test for medical school applicants and first-year enrollees have been trending upward since 2000.
