High Impact Practices and Professional School Acceptance in Health Science Concentrations

Abstract

Graduate-level professional health care programs have a highly selective admissions process. Applicants can distinguish themselves by participating in High Impact Practices (HIPs) to enhance their undergraduate experience and academic and professional success. The variables analyzed in this study included acceptance, grade point average (GPA), minor attainment, items from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), and HIPs. Results of the analysis indicate a significant positive association between professional school acceptance and GPA, minor attainment, and capstone course completion. Data analysis suggests specific HIPs correlate with admission to desired graduate programs, and implications for advising students with this goal are discussed.

“…Concentration is understood as focusing the mind on one thing by putting aside all other things that are not related (Nugrahardi & Bhakti, 2021;Ginley & Keane, 2021). A person is said to be concentrating if his attention and focus are only on one object that is the main target in concentrating so that the information that will be absorbed and understood is only information that has been selected (Bili & Lengo, 2019;Richard et al, 2021). Concentration has a significant effect on learning and ultimately has an impact on students' academic achievement (Khotimah et al, 2021).…”
