TL;DR
Proper procedures for selecting students who are most likely to succeed academically in the initial year at an innovative medical school deserve further study and probably should include both academic performance and non-academic attributes.

Academic MedicineStudentsʼ psychosocial characteristics as predictors of academic performance in medical school
105 Citations1993Mohammadreza Hojat, Mary Robeson +4 more
The “noncognitive,” or psychosocial, measures increased the magnitude of the relationships between the predictive and criterion measures of the students' academic performances, beyond the magnitude attained when only the conventional admission measures were used.
Academic MedicinePredicting medical studentsʼ academic performances by their cognitive abilities and personality characteristics
77 Citations1997Hongzhang Shen, Andrew L. Comrey
The multiple regression analysis results indicate that different personality characteristics are incorporated in different types of medical performances, which is perhaps why the overall personality-profile score failed to predict any of the studied criteria.

BMJReliability of interviewing in medical student selection
30 Citations1988Peter Richards, I. C. McManus +1 more
Six interviewing panels which had assessed candidates for places at a medical school in 1984 were reconvened in 1987 to assess videotapes of the interviews conducted by themselves and by other panels, and showed excellent reliability within panels and high reliability between panels.

16 Citations1987C. Knight Aldrich
Although psychiatric interviewing of applicants is not now feasible because of legal restrictions, some of the findings of the study reported here may be useful for admission interviewers and as a basis for further research.
Academic MedicineNoncognitive criteria for assessing students in North American medical schools
15 Citations1989G D Miller, David A. Frank +2 more
The study showed an increasing trend to create criteria that assist in administrative actions when problems arise, and in the 31 sets of noncognitive criteria submitted, the rank order of specific expectations was, from most to least frequently mentioned, honesty, professional behavior, dedication to learning, appearance, respect for law, and respect for others.
Academic MedicineAchievement motivation in medical students
12 Citations1983Leslie F. Robbins, Eldon Robbins +3 more
Women were more inclined toward artistic and domestic interests and helping others, while men were more interested in scientific investigation, athletics, and adventure, and the implications for the students' future careers are discussed.
