I interviewed here last year. it is a series of 8 MMIs, all of random questions not 100% tied to why medicine or why UMass. They have 8 different stations with 8 different interviewers. i heard that they will only eval 7 of the interviews but that's not confirmed. I just did a few random timed MMI prompts that I found online to get used to the timing and had a friend ask me follow up questions. They want you to explain your position but also leave time for follow up questions and conversation so they can see how you think on your feetDoes anyone have any insight on how to particularly prepare for the interview?
Thank you for the information! Did you feel as though the questions were pretty straight forward? I’m trying to brush up on some MMI based questions but I’ve encountered some difficult ones. Hoping it’s not too complicated.I interviewed here last year. it is a series of 8 MMIs, all of random questions not 100% tied to why medicine or why UMass.

I went 1/20 in II's my last cycle and 0/1 one possible A's. i also had like 0 clinical experience and overall a meh application but good stats so I was a bit disillusioned and my pre med advisor said I was a great applicant so to go for it. reapplying to them this time around hopefully to change that statline from last yearCan I ask if you got the A?
Sending good vibes your way my friend! I only had 1/26 interviews when I applied the first time, and two years later I have 3/24 interview offers so far. You got this!nope lol.

Anyone have a guess at post II acceptance rate?
Random questions: is admit.org trustworthy? Do they get their stats from usnews or something? Tangentially, are usnews stats trustworthy?I think around 40% ish according to admit.org they say 37%
From what I have seen, it seems like admit.org>usnews, although I can't speak to their reliability all that muchRandom questions: is admit.org trustworthy? Do they get their stats from usnews or something? Tangentially, are usnews stats trustworthy?
Hi there! LM of 69.7, OOS. Submitted secondary on 7/13, received interview offer on 8/6 for PURCH and MD (it is 2 separate interviews).Anyone applied to PURCH and received an interview? or if any past applicants know if applying to PURCH makes your application review longer?
Submitted secondary 7/13, but preview score wasn't available until 7/26. LM 73
The only spot I had was 9/18 which was surprising.Does it say no spots available for scheduling at this current time for any one else?
7/5, received secondary on 7/2Completion date?
screw this guy (he was my roommate and football teammate in college) and he totally didn't deserve this II (he's worked his butt off for this and I couldn't be happier)OOS II received this morning!! Secondary submitted 7/17
I had like over 10 spots… that’s weirdThe only spot I had was 9/18 which was surprising.
I wonder why they send interview invitations without slots to schedule them??
Love you brotha lolscrew this guy (he was my roommate and football teammate in college) and he totally didn't deserve this II (he's worked his butt off for this and I couldn't be happier)

Get your stats from MSAR as they are supplied by the schools themselves.Random questions: is admit.org trustworthy? Do they get their stats from usnews or something? Tangentially, are usnews stats trustworthy?
I would answer No to that question if you truly only used it for proofreading, for example, using Grammarly or other AI platforms that give grammar suggestions.Random question but how did you guys answer the question on if you used AI? If I said I did use it to help proof read will that be a red flag?
Yes, it is still quite early in the season!My application didn't go through correctly, so I ended up applying mid august. IS, LM 73. Is there any hope for me?
no youre the only one 😛Is there anyone with earlier submit dates who are still waiting? I'm IS with a submit date of 7/3 with an LM of 78.
