Abstract
![CDATA[Establishing the reliability, validity and fairness of traditional selection tools in a high stakes situation challenges accepted I/O practices. Drawing on data collected as part of a study investigating the selection process of a newly established medical school in Australia, this paper discusses the criterion problem and examines issues related to the use of cognitive and noncognitive measures to select medical students including adverse impact, test security, coaching, threats to the validity of interviews and how to combine scores for final ranking.]]
