To people who've interviewed already at UIWSOM, would you care to share how long the interview process was? I am planning on reserving a library room for it, but unsure how long to reserve it for. TIA! 🙂)

When I interviewed last year, there were six virtual MMI stations; five of the stations were face-to-face stations with an interviewer and there was one rest station. Each station lasted for about 10-minutes. I was given two minutes to read the prompt for that station and eight minutes to discuss with the interviewer. There was one 10-minute rest station and one 10-minute writing station. The writing station was set up just like the verbal MMI stations with the difference being that I was asked to write in response to the prompt using Google Write. Finally, there was a 10-minute group activity station where I and the seven other interviewees interacted under the observation of an interviewer, to solve a problem. Between stations, there was a group gathering room that the director of admissions and an OMS-2 manned. To cover yourself, I'd plan on renting a library space for 1 hr 45 minutes to 2 hours.

Close to 1.5 hrs depending on whether or not you stick around for the optional student-led discussion afterwards. 2 hrs would be safe I'm assuming if you want to do the whole thing!

you got this! They were sooo nice. I was pretty nervous because this was my first MMI interview but I read some posts from other's experiences last year and they all said it was better than they expected and I agree! Read the prompt, take a deep breath, and collect your thoughts. If you find yourself panicking, pause and recollect yourself before starting again. Try practicing some questions in front of your webcam and take videos of yourself. I thought that was really helpful because I realized for half of my videos, I wasn't even making eye contact LOL so watching yourself back can allow you to see what you look like to the other person. Good luck!

I agree with sunflower1234, but I also want to add that you should make sure that you know yourself! What are your strengths, weaknesses, etc. I also recommend knowing why you want to attend UIWSOM specifically. If you know these two things and remain calm then you should be fine! Good luck!

I had an interview for UIWSOM last Friday, and I was doing it at the library, the wifi was spotty, so I went outside and it starting raining on my suit. The interviewers were very kind and appreciated that I kept going with the interview even with spotty WiFi and getting soaked by rain. They said they liked my determination and ability to deal with challenges. I hope my interview went well we will have to see. Definitely the most eventful interview I’ve ever had 😂

My class was 165 matriculants for 955 interviews. Post interview acceptance rates are usually 2-2.5 times the amount of students that actually matriculate so I'd put it around 50% or so.

Its clearly 50%. You just need to read through the last wave to figure that one out --> Accepted -- WL -- Accepted -- WL 🙂

Rude

It wasn't meant to be rude, I was just stating what they said at the interview and also from what I've seen from others. If it's been longer than 3 weeks then maybe you should reach out to them. But i saw that you were just interviewed recently, so I don't think it's necessary to freak out yet.
