Description
The University seeks an independent consulting firm to conduct a comprehensive review of the School of Medicine’s admissions governance, the relationship between admissions variables and student outcomes, and the full spectrum of student‑success services. The work must produce a diagnostic assessment, benchmarking against peer institutions, and a future‑state roadmap with actionable recommendations, delivered within a tight 12‑week schedule.
• Review admissions committee bylaws, authority, conflict‑of‑interest policies, and ensure final authority rests with the committee.
• Perform longitudinal data analysis linking admissions data to coursework, USMLE results, remediation, attrition, graduation, and residency match for multiple cohorts.
• Evaluate advising, tutoring, wellness, mental‑health, financial‑counseling, and career‑service support structures, staffing levels, and effectiveness.
• Map early‑alert and progression processes, identify gaps, and propose improvements.
• Benchmark against at least five comparable urban public medical schools and deliver a 12‑ to 24‑month implementation plan.
