A qualitative investigation of the conduct and content of medical scho ol admission interviews yielded results that indicate differences in i nterviewers' perceptions of the purpose and structure of the interview according to their professional background and amount of experience w ith the admission process. Informants delineated questions assessing c ore noncognitive attributes of candidates for admission which the inte rview should be structured to include.
