Description
ABSTRACT Graduate nursing programs frequently use undergraduate grade point average (UGPA) and Graduate Record Examination[R] (GRE) scores for admission decisions. The literature indicates that both UGPA and GRE scores are predictive of graduate school success, but that UGPA may be the better predictor. If that is so, one must ask if both are necessary for graduate nursing admission decisions. This article presents research on one graduate nursing program's experience with UGPA and GRE scores and offers a perspective regarding their continued usefulness for graduate admission decisions. Data from 120 graduate students were examined, and regression analysis indicated that UGPA significantly predicted GRE verbal and quantitative scores (p .05). Regression analysis also determined a UGPA score above which the GRE provided little additional useful data for graduate nursing admission decisions. Key Words Graduate Record Examination--Grade Point Average--Benchmarking--Graduate School--Admissions Decisions
