§ GPA is given only for the subset of students having finished upper secondary school after 1997, when the grading system in Sweden was changed to the present system where at maximum 20.0 can be obtained. The original GPA when leaving upper secondary school is given, although many students in the GPA group had increased their original GPA to 20.0 after additional studies before admittance to medical school. Data available for subgroups only.
* p < 0.01, for difference in GPA between the Interview and GPA groups (t- test).
