CI = confidence interval; NPV = negative predictive value; OR = odds ratio; PPV = positive predictive value; SE = standard error; SHIS = School of Health Information Science, UT; UGPA = undergraduate grade point average; URMS = underrepresented minority status;

Note: B = Logistic Regression Coefficient; SE = Standard Error; Wald = Wald statistic; OR = odds ratio; df = degrees of freedom. The row headed NPV/PPV % shows, as percents, negative predictive values in columns labeled “No C” and positive predictive values in columns labeled “C”. Columns headed with sp % displayed above Se % show, as percents, specificity in the row labeled “No C”, above sensitivity in the row labeled “C”, above overall accuracy of prediction in the row labeled NPV/PPV %' Prob. C = predicted probability of “C” grade; Obs C = observed binary occurrence of “C” grade; pred C = predicted binary occurrence of “C” grade.
