“…Consequently, the aim of admissions committees of educational programs in occupational therapy and other health professions is to identify, from a pool of applicants, those who are most likely to successfully graduate from the program. Successful graduation from a health professions educational program indicates that the graduate was able to meet the academic and clinical requirements of the program, measured by the graduating grade point average (GPA; Auriemma, 2002;Avi-Itzhak & Kellner, 1996;Hansen-Suchy, 2011;Kirchner, Stone, & Holm, 2000;Lysaght, Donnelly, & Villeneuve, 2009;Posthuma & Sommerfreund, 1985) or was able to pass a licensure exam, measured by a first-time pass score (Aldridge, Keith, Sloas, & Mott-Murphree, 2010;Dadian, Geurink, Olney, & Littlefield, 2002;Edenfield & Hansen, 2000;Ennulat, Garrubba, & DeLong, 2011;Hagemaster, 2001;Sloas, Keith, & Whitehead, 2013).…”
