Hello, I interviewed here, was accepted but chose to go to a different school. I’m from Utah tho. For the interview day, I’d say to just stay relaxed and calm. You’ll be with your interview group the whole day and everyone will kind of just be sizing each other up and so it’s important to relax and and not be too nervous. Like 80% of my group was made up of married white Mormon males.
As for the actual interviews itself, the big thing about MMI is not really about your actual opinions. They don’t care if you don’t want marijuana legalization or not. What they really want is for you to back up your opinion with strong points but also bring up concerns and address concerns from the other side. If you fail to talk about the other point of view and don’t discuss it thoroughly, your score will be negatively affected. Utah is a bit different, but just remember that in general, once you get the interview, the interview is basically all that matters. Past grades, scores don’t mean a thing once you get to the interview round.
The school itself is great. You definitely get the feeling that Utah is always trying to innovate and revamp the school. Pre clinical year is completely pass/fail which is awesome. When you’re interviewing at other schools, be aware of that. Schools don’t to ABC grades. They do a variation of honors, high pass, pass, fail.
