Shahani, Comila; And Others

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v51 n4 p1049-61 Win 1991

The incremental contribution of an interview to the student admission process was studied for 331 applicants accepted as undergraduates at a private university. Interviews provide information about applicants and correlate to grade point average (GPA). Interviewer judgments do not contribute incremental variance to prediction of admissions decisions or GPA.
