The Predictive Validity of the AFIT Graduate Management Program Admission Requirements: A Reassessment and Extension, (Paperback)

This research is based on the Air Force and AFIT balancing mission requirements of personnel needed for duty and training airmen in advanced studies. Currently, over 50% of AFIT students do not meet AFIT entrance requirements. The purpose of this research was to examine criteria to determine its predictability of graduate success, as measured by graduate GPA, as well as determine whether performance is different for students who require criteria to be waived. Current AFIT eligibility criteria include undergraduate GPA, GRE test scores, or GMAT test scores. Other variables examined in this study include: GRE-Analytical test scores; rank/grade; prior enlistment; AFSC; gender; and number of members in household. This research found GMAT scores were a better predictor of success than GRE scores for management students.
