Key Points

  • This research evaluates the effectiveness of the AAMC PREview situational judgment test in medical school admissions.
  • Examined PREview scores not used in admissions decisions
  • Analyzed correlation between PREview scores and interview invitations
  • Evaluated post-interview committee assessments
  • Lower PREview scores correlated with fewer interview invitations
  • No link found between PREview scores and post-interview evaluations
  • Findings highlight limited alignment with holistic admissions processes

Abstract

In a setting where PREview scores were not used in admissions decisions, lower scores were associated with interview invitation status but not with post-interview committee evaluations. These findings suggest limited alignment between PREview scores and the outcomes of holistic admissions review and underscore the importance of careful evaluation before incorporating SJTs into admissions processes.
