RESUMO:

This dissertation provides information about the profile and performance of students who entered in the most popular course at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), in 2012, after reserving 20% of the vacancies of all UFBA undergraduate courses for graduating students of Interdisciplinary Bachelor Degrees (BI). BI is a new modality of undergraduate course implemented in the institution in 2009, which promoted a significant change in the curricular structure of the university, due to its interdisciplinary, flexible and broader formative proposal that values the autonomy of students in their education. Reserving vacancies for students who have completed interdisciplinary Bachelor degrees in the most demanding and, consequently, the most sought after courses has brought to light the old discussion of meritocracy, quality and excellence of teaching and the questioning regarding the difference in performance of students graduating from the university BI in a course of high prestige as is the case of the medical course. The objective of this research was to verify if there is a difference of academic performance and socioeconomic characteristics among the students of the Medical School of the Federal University of Bahia who joined in 2012. The students were classified in two distinct groups according to their form of admission: coming from the entrance exam selection processes and graduates of the Interdisciplinary Bachelor. One hundred and sixty-two students were considered, of which 130 were admitted through college entrance exams and 32 were graduates from the Interdisciplinary Bachelor. From the analysis of the data related to the student profile, differences were found in the variables of gender, age, year of high school completion and father's educational background, but these differences are justified by the current trend in other universities, by the predominance of women in BI courses, or just because BI students have already attended 3 years of higher education, influencing variables such as the time of completion of high school and age of entry into medical school. Based on the study of the students' academic performance, some significant differences were verified when the form of admission with some variables was combined, being considered positive in all of them to the group of students admitted through the entrance exam. When applying the tests considering only the form of admission, this positive difference for the entrance exam group was confirmed with an average CR of 7.797 while the BI admission students presented an average CR equal to 7.331. It was also possible to determine that the highest averages were found, in this research, among private school, with tanned complexion, female and with family income greater than 40 minimum wages.
