Non-Academic Predictors of Academic Performance Throughout a Physical Therapist Education Program
Of the variables studied, age and diversity characteristics can be useful for predicting GPA, but not PEAT scores. Older and more diverse DPT students have poorer academic outcomes in the didactic phase of their education. Personal attributes can be incorporated into holistic admissions; however, they may not be useful as indicators of academic performance.
