Yes.


Do I think my interviews were a problem? Partially, yes. I had a stress interview paired with a MMI at Marian, and it really threw me off my game. I interviewed at Midwestern LATE, and I suspect most people were getting waitlisted at that point.

I suggest:




Quinnipiac
Oakland U Beaumont
WVU
EVMS
Rosy Franklin
MCW
Creighton
NYMC
VCU
Rush (note: very service/experience oriented with a 150hr service requirement. Avg student has 800 hours of community service, and >1800 hours of health care exposure.)
Loma Linda (but read their list of don'ts)
Albany
Netter
Your state school(s).
Any DO school.

@Goro

Do you think the late interview (March) at CCOM helped land me on the waitlist, or do you think this is indicative of my interview skills?

 

[Goro]

The latter may have aggravated the former, is CCOM is starting to ration seats.

What is an MMI?

A MMI is a multiple mini interview. It's like interview speed dating. You get 1-2 minutes to read a (usually ethical) prompt, and then you hear a gong, and then you walk into a room with a moderator there. You talk about the ethical scenario, and the stance you would take on it. You get ~8-12 minutes to discuss the scenario/answer followup questions, and then you hear another gong and you leave the room. Most MMI's have about 8 stations.

The one I did only had 3 stations. I wish I did better on it. I've never done ANYTHING like this before and I was really off my game at the first station, but I feel like I did better at the second station. The third station was a 1:1 interview, and at that point the ethical questions had ended.

Sounds hideous.

I despised the format, but liked the school itself. Very frustrating.
