Hi guys! After a grueling summer, I finally got my first interview at RFU. That being said, I am so anxious and nervous about the MMI format and interviews in general. Would anyone be willing to give me any tips or drop any advice?

I don't have an MMI at RFU but have done two this cycle. Learn their format and what kinds of questions will be asked (i.e. more standard interview questions or scenario based) and practice those kinds of questions. If there are ethics/scenario based, learn the four pillars of medical ethics and how they could apply to different situations in medicine/life. For more standard interview questions, review your activities, personal statement, why medicine etc and maybe review common questions asked in standard interviews too. Do mock interviews to practice or simply practice your answers with a friend on Zoom (more realistic to practice talking to someone).

I found my MMIs to be really relaxing. Answer each station's questions and follow questions and move on. You have many opportunities to talk about many different topics, so don't get too caught up about your performance in any one station. Good luck!

Go back to the original email where they invited you for a secondary. There’s a link that says view your application checklist

Hi I don’t know if this would help. My secondary for Rosalind Franklin was somehow sent to my secondary email address, maybe you can try checking your backup email?

wait I'm so confused- I submitted and thought I was completed 07/17 (nothing was missing in my check list) and I just got a complete email today (9/13). It took them 2 months? I didn't even have anything missing?

i called them today and they said that things have been moving slow -- they said even if you have nothing missing, you may not have received a complete email yet

How does MMI interviews work? This will be my first MMI interview. Super excited but super nervous cause this is one of my top choices.

 

[Flipase]

[gudeggtama]

wait does it say that on the checklist?? does anyone else not even have the letters as a checkbox (just mcat and supplemental app)?

For those who interviewed already, were the timings for the agenda accurate, or did the presentations go past their scheduled time?

Our MMI ran a little past, our 30 minute break turned into 15, but we ended on time

 

[Basalganglia4life]

are there any CMS students lurking on here that can speak to the quality of rotations and the required travel time to them?

how did you feel about the MMi? Low stress?

 

[hermoninny]

I received a secondary from them end of august, is too late to submit it?

 

[palmtree13]

I received a secondary from them end of august, is too late to submit it?

i would submit it ASAP if possible, they're running a little slower when it comes to marking applicants complete since they manually do this, so just get it in sooner rather than later

 

[jasonbourne125]

how did you feel about the MMi? Low stress?

I would say typical MMI experience.

 

[futurecardiodoc]

Emailed RFU regarding not being complete on 9/13. Submitted secondary 7/26, complete email just now 9/16.

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

Current M1 at RFU. I’m only a little over a month in and med school is kicking my butt, but I love this school and want to share any insight! Feel free to message me

[alisonbechdel]

Got an email my app was complete today, submitted on 7/15. I was under the impression I was complete already because I got a Supplemental Application Confirmation email on 7/15 which indicated the next step was application review.... oh well.

ya I was the same got a complete email a few days ago but submitted early july

 

[futurebonedr]

I submitted 7/14 and am trying to be patient I called and they said I was "in-review" so maybe my reviewer is just thorough

 

[Zira Jess]

For anyone who has had their interview how long do they let you read the MMI question and how long do you get to respond?

2 minutes to read, 5 to respond

 

[arustynail]

Did anyone else get an email saying that supplemental materials needed to be submitted but when you access the checklist it shows that everything has been submitted?

 

[Zira Jess]
