    • To explore alternative selection methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of academic records.
    • Assessment of previous practical experience.
    • Evaluation of interview performance.
    • Correlation analysis with student performance.

    Main Results:

    • Established a correlation between selection factors and student success.
