Members don't see this ad.

All schools with MMI ask that applicants do not share the exact content of the interview questions.

I've seen schools provide this information in other posts. Definitely wouldn't ask for anyone to break the rules, so thanks for bringing this to my attention.

A few schools, which will remain nameless, asked me to sign an NDA. If you come across this, just make sure you be careful! Would hate for you to get sued by the school because of an honest mistake/willingness to help fellow applicants.

Best of luck! 👍

For the interview does it consist of both MMI stations and a one-on-one interview?

Only MMI I believe

Chippers is correct just MMI

Any IIs recently? Absolutely love this school and holding onto hope!

Too late to submit secondary? Received it early September but two full-time jobs have really limited the time I could dedicate to writing. Will submit regardless- just would like to know how negatively I will be affected by this timeline. Heard mixed opinions given COVID & whatnot, especially since schools are each at a unique place in their review process.

It is pretty late, but there's still the saying, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take! " Since this is one you'd be done with in an hour, I'd say go for it!

Not very long -- maybe 90 minutes. There's really no obligation to stay for the whole time. They're very understanding, so if you could only take off a limited amount of time, they'd surely work with you. It was mostly a Q&A session + time to talk to the Diversity & Inclusion folks.

When is the last date this school intends to interview? Was complete early August and feeling like I've been passed up at this point.

I don’t recall the exact dates off the top of my head, but our school added 2 extra interview dates this year and I believe we will be interviewing throughout April.

 

[Medapplicant103165]

I interviewed on 10/19. Does anyone know what day I should expect to hear back?
Thanks!

 

[thecatdoctor]

Do they accept updates? I've had some pretty big changes since submitting my secondary

 

[wysdoc]

No they do not, but you might get a chance to say something at a interview day

 

[Optimist Prime]

No they don’t but it doesn’t hurt to email the school and ask. Also if it’s like last year you won’t have an opportunity during interview day.

 

[gluconeo10]

My fellow 10/26 friends, we should hear back sometime (maybe late) today, right?

 

[GGBMed2021]

I believe everyone that has interviewed that hasn’t received the R or the A will hear back again today.

 

[anonstudent98]

Just got continued consideration - anyone know if they're receptive to LOIs/demonstrated interest? Definitely my top choice and fell in love with it at my interview

Continued Consideration x2. Still.In.the.Running.

 

[chippers17]

Interviewed 10/26, put on continued consideration today ):

 

[thecatdoctor]

I tried to send an update letter today but they said they don't accept them

 

[gogetter898]

[deleted1058525]

for the student mixer what is the dress code?

 

[Optimist Prime]

for the student mixer what is the dress code?

If you had your mixer today then good luck at your interview tomorrow you guys are going to do great! I loved getting to talk to you guys. If not then the dress code is casual! The mixer is purely a time where the interviewees get to ask us questions. We aren’t secretly taking notes to give to the admissions committee or anything like that so no ones judging what you’re wearing. I was rocking some shorts and a t-shirt.

For the interview day, does anyone know what the "Creating the Empathetic Scholar" portion is? Is it another interview or just an informative portion?

Thanks!

Any new interview invites from late august/early sept?

for anybody who has interviewed the MMI way, which interview way do you like better? MMI or one on one?

 

[Drsecondchance]

for anybody who has interviewed the MMI way, which interview way do you like better? MMI or one on one?

One on one. Less emphasis on individual questions, more on your ability to communicate, talk and build rapport.

 

[nosecretingredient]

for anybody who has interviewed the MMI way, which interview way do you like better? MMI or one on one?

I preferred MMI. For me, it was a better opportunity to explain myself as a potential future physician but it is important to mention I also really enjoyed the CASPER test. I think it just depends on your communication style. I also liked that I didn't know any questions beforehand (ex. you can expect Tell me about yourself, why medicine, why X school in traditional) and had to think on the spot and rationalize my answers. One thing I didn't expect was having to adjust to the affects of the (many) raters in MMI. Some were very cheery and it was more conversational while others were stoic and never smiled.

 

[Removed 982794]

any new wave of ii?

 

[type1fiber]

Look at the Nov 6 post above. Adcom will meet tmrw, 11/20

Do we know if that will bring new IIs or only new As?

 

[Removed 982794]
