The research was evaluated univariately and bivariately using Somers'd correlation and One Way ANOVA tests, respectively.Result: The bivariate analysis for medical graduates for 2020 period produced a p value = 0.349. For medical graduates, a value p = 0.001 and r = 0.280 were obtained for 2021 period. The value of p = 0.010 was achieved in the One Way ANOVA test.Conclusion: For 2020 period, there is no relationship to college admission selection system and GPA of medical graduates.
