Evaluation of Pharmacy School Applicants Whose First Language Is Not English.
Wu-Pong, Susanna; And Others
American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, v61 n1 p61-66 Spr 1997
Compared success at Virginia Commonwealth University pharmacy school of native English-speakers and of students with other first languages, by assessing admissions data/test scores, pharmacy school science and math grades, English skills, and pharmacy grade point average (GPA). Found that first language was not predictive of either number of honors received in clinical rotations or of pharmacy GPA. (Author/MSE)
