Out of respect for the NDA, I’ll just share my general experience of MMI interviews at different schools and hopefully help ease some worry.
Generally, most MMI questions are situation based. There are sometimes application-based stations, but the core principle of MMI is to interview applicants with no information about them available to the interviewer and no information about the interviewer available to the applicant.
As far as prep, being familiar with the format and having a knowledge of how to discuss ethical situations will be more than adequate. DO NOT listen to those videos where the applicant sits there and gives a 4 minute nonstop speech and doesn’t let the interviewer talk. I don’t know if that works other places, but it’s not the objective of the NYMC interview. They’ll tell you on interview day that it’s a conversational MMI; stress is your enemy and it’s not meant to put you under pressure. It’s a measurement of your communication and interpersonal skills just like a traditional interview, just delivered in a different way. Be professional, be yourself, and be a normal person. You’ve all had conversations before, and that’s what you’ll do on interview day.
@robertsdude it doesn’t matter when you interview, you still have the same chance at acceptance. My own interview came in the end of March. The only advantage of earlier interview is knowing the outcome sooner.
