The grade admission group was admitted on grades from secondary school (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0126) and the alternative admission group via an alternative admission procedure (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0157). The alternative admission procedure consisted of the following components: problem\u2010solving matrices, spatial capacity tested with folding and tin models, manual dexterity, capacity for empathy and interview. Comparisons were made for academic progress (dropouts from the programme and study rate) and academic performance (examinations failed and outcomes of a comprehensive clinical examination). Spearman correlation was calculated for each component of the alternative admission procedure and academic progress as well as academic performance. Multivariate analyses were also carried out.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared to the grade admission group, the alternative admission group presented lower rate of dropsouts (3% vs. 20%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001) and a larger proportion graduated within the expected time (88% vs. 60%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.01). There was no difference between the groups concerning academic performance. Capacity of empathy was correlated with study rate and outcomes of the clinical examination. The matrices predicted low proportion failed examinations and high students' self\u2010assessments in the clinical examination. Predictive power of folding was limited and so was that of the interview. Manual dexterity was not correlated with academic progress or performance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Results support further development of admission selection criteria, particularly emphatic capacity that predicts important student academic achievements.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/eje.12129","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,16]],"date-time":"2014-12-16T07:23:06Z","timestamp":1418714586000},"page":"251-258","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["A predictive model for alternative admission to dental education"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"C.","family":"Christersson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Odontology Malm\u00f6 University Malm\u00f6 Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Bengmark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Odontology Malm\u00f6 University Malm\u00f6 Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Bengtsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Lund University Lund Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Lindh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Odontology Malm\u00f6 University Malm\u00f6 Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Rohlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Odontology Malm\u00f6 University Malm\u00f6 Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0579.1997.tb00020.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1011489618208"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0579.6.s3.3.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0579.2009.00613.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016358709096364"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0579.2006.00398.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"138","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bdj.4800043a","article-title":"An analysis of an admission system: can performance in the first year of the dental course be predicted?","volume":"186","author":"Hoad\u2010Reddick G","year":"1999","journal-title":"Br Dent J"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","unstructured":"GonzalezP.Auswahlkriterien und Leistungsergebnisse der Fakult\u00e4t f\u00fcr Zahn\u2010 Mund\u2010 und Kieferheilkunde der Universit\u00e4t Witten Herdecke(dissertation).Witten\/Herdecke:Universit\u00e4t Witten\/Herdecke 2003(In German)."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","unstructured":"LekkasD.Becoming a dentist: characteristics experiences and performance of students in the early years of the Adelaide dental course(dissertation).Adelaide:The University of Adelaide 2009."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0579.2005.00381.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","unstructured":"R\u00f6dingK.Implementing a new admission procedure and developing a system for assessing modes of admission(dissertation).Stockholm:Karolinska University Press 2001."},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0579.2004.00345.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","volume-title":"Manual for Raven's progressive matrices and vocabulary scales: section 4.
