This thread only contains a small amount of the total applicant pool. I think there is a high possibility more decisions have been sent that we just don‘t know about. I remember someone saying they are interviewing till May as well.
 
I don’t know how they could interview open file with their current MMI format. I didn’t get the impression that any of my interviewers knew my story beforehand either.
 
Sorry if this has already been asked. I couldn’t find the below info in the ii invite email. How many mmi stations are in the 2 hr interview and how much time is there for prep and response respectively?

Also, I know this could vary from person to person, but were the stations interactive where the interviewer would ask several questions about the stations topic? Or do you just have to speak continuously about the topic for a certain period of time? Also were there any role playing situations? Or just a combination of all of the above?

thanks
 
MMI is closed file. I think there were 8 stations and each is 3 minutes to read the prompt (although you are able to hop on earlier) and then it was 6-8 minutes to respond with a 5 minute break between each session. You do not need to talk continuously as they have a few probing questions. You may find that some sessions will end a little earlier, which is okay because it is better to concisely make your points than ramble on. There are no actor scenarios, just discussion-based scenarios. I thought the interview was really enjoyable because I was able to relate each prompt to a topic I was passionate about although some prompts were more obscure than others. You are allowed to have paper so my advice would be to use the 3 mins to map out your response, which helped me stay on topic.
 
anyone from 02/19 hear yet? based on past threads it seems like they release decisions on any day of the work week

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion yet. During my interview day, the admissions team said that they were sending the files from my interview day and the previous interview days out for review the following Friday. And they wouldn't necessarily review those files in chronological order. So keep up the hope!

Just to add to the other response, in past years not everyone heard back the same time who interviewed the same day. Some people heard back weeks apart from people on the same interview day and they were accepted. They may just send apps to different groups of people and maybe some raters take longer to send their responses back. Keep your head up until you hear!

This same sentiment was shared by Toledo on interview day. They that that the earliest we may hear back is in a few weeks, but it may take more than that!

Thank you! It has been a fruitful cycle thus far and is much appreciated after not receiving a single II last cycle. I have one more big one coming up in two weeks and after that I will probably be done!
 
Yeah so they send out your apps to a bunch of different faculty who are chosen to sit on the adcom that cycle - the faster the faculty member, the sooner you get your decision.
 
Are we allowed to make notes when we are reading the prompt during the interview?

Just for my own curiosity, what did you feel you could've done better on? I'm trying to prep for MMIs but it's very different from a traditional interview as I'm sure you know lol

Sounds weird but try not to talk to much, be concise. Don’t try to predict what else they want to know just let them ask follow up questions.
I knew this going in but the anxiety kinda took over 😭

Thank you!! I have the same problem lol. I'm a chronic rambler, gotta figure out how to get better at it I suppose

i'm normally pretty good at interviews. In most of the questions i think i did well but on a few, the interviewer caught me lacking 😂. And also read the question carefully. sometimes the interviewer came in before you even get the question. I felt pressured to not use the 2 minutes to fully read the question to avoid awkwardly just looking at each other. That's all the tips i have good luck on your interview!

yes we are allowed to make notes. After I read the prompt in my two minutes I also wrote down key points I wanted to discuss so I wouldn't forget it. It was immensely helpful . Would highly recommend it

Also their zoom setting if fairly easy to understand. I did have few glitch but don't panic. It will be okay. There is original zoom intro session that will still be filled with people incase if you have any technical difficulty with zoom during interview. All you have to do is go back to the intro session and let them know. They were pretty chill during my session.

All the BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Any accepted people got their CYMS tool on AMCAS yet?
 
Anyone hear back from interviews recently? Feels like it's been a while since the last round of A's (or am I slowly losing my mind?)
If anyone has advice on how to wait efficiently, I'm all ears!

I am hoping they send some out today or I don't know if they are waiting for the March 15th date according to AAMC suggestion. I am driving myself insane too...

Going to manifest acceptance vibes for all.. Last Friday people started posting acceptances in the evening, so good vibes to all !!!!

Seriously I think it’s only 8 people per interview time slot and only two slots per interview say. (At least how it was on my interview). If that’s the case, no way they interview their class size in that short amount of time
