Multiple regression analysis was used to examine scores on the Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT) and pre-pharmacy grade point averages (GPAs) as predictors of academic success in pharmacy school. Separate analyses were made for White (n=471), Black (n=54), and Asian (n=96) subgroups, as well as for the total sample of 643 students who entered the pharmacy school at a large eastern university between 1975 and 1986. The results indicate that the predictors differed significantly in importance for the three subgroups. In a separate analysis, the eight variables within the Noncognitive Questionnaire were examined with respect to their predictive power when included in an equation with pre-pharmacy GPA and PCAT total score. One of the non-cognitive variables--understanding and dealing with racism--significantly increased the overall R squared value. It should be noted that the sample size for this study was quite small, limiting both the validity and generalizability of the findings. The small sample size also undermined the attempt to distinguish results across racial groups for the non-cognitive variables. Implications for educators and admissions personnel are discussed. Two data tables provide demographic characteristics of the subjects and results of multiple regression analyses. (TJH)
