摘要
The MFSEL system is designed to collect the data on entrants to the Glasgow medical course that was available to the Admissions Committee at the time of selection, and compare it with performance in medical school (and possibly later). The data collection has been made by the Admission Committee's secretary and the programming by a medical member with little previous experience and a minimum of professional help. Computing and data preparation costs have been low. Preliminary analyses indicate that selection has not been biased by the sex, class, or medical parenthood of entrants, and that the Scottish Sixth Year Studies examinations are a reliable predictor for student performance. 1979 Blackwell Publishing
