Medical schools are shifting to a holistic approach for admissions. As non-cognitive abilities become more valued in the medical field and admissions become more competitive, multiple mini-interviews (MMI) are becoming increasingly common in selection criteria. The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship among admissions criteria to create a predictive model of acceptance to medical school. This article also aims to examine, among matriculated students, the relationship between MMI and traditional academic success, and the relationship between MMI scores and clinical competence and academic accolades.
