Abstract:
The relation between results of interview evaluation and progress after admission, especially the need to repeat years of school, dropping out, and results of the national examination for medical practitioners, was investigated in 318 students. Among students who had been admitted on the basis of open entrance examination, those who had lower interview evaluations needed to repeat a year of school at least three times more often than did other students. Among students who had been amitted on the basis of recommendations of high school principals, no such difference was observed, probably owing to selection bias. On the other hand, students who repeated a year of school had a significantly higher failure rate on the national examination for madical practitioners than did other students.
