    AbstractMedical schools need to justify their range of selection tools and processes. This paper describes the selection tools used at one university in New Zealand (Auckland), which combine a measure of academic achievement, score on a test of general cognitive ability, and score in a structured interview. Further, it describes considerations in justifying the decision to continue with an interview as part of the selection process. This information may be of use to stakeholders in the Auckland medical programme, and to other schools evaluating their admission tools.
