Key Points

The aim is to investigate how non-academic factors like age and diversity affect academic performance in physical therapy education.
Examined correlations between age, diversity characteristics, GPA, and PEAT scores in DPT students.
Analyzed data from students throughout their education program.
Evaluated how personal attributes could influence holistic admissions processes.
Older and more diverse DPT students have lower GPAs in the didactic phase.
No significant correlation between age/diversity and PEAT scores was found.
Personal attributes may not serve as reliable indicators of academic success.

Abstract

Of the variables studied, age and diversity characteristics can be useful for predicting GPA, but not PEAT scores. Older and more diverse DPT students have poorer academic outcomes in the didactic phase of their education. Personal attributes can be incorporated into holistic admissions; however, they may not be useful as indicators of academic performance.
