Same, MMI's can be unpredictable. But, I like them more than traditional because you leave the station relatively quickly and get to move on to the next. Are you AM or PM session?

Second this. Everyone is extremely kind and they try to make the interview as low stress as possible

Is there no confidentiality agreement for the interview?

 

[snoozyk]

Good luck to everyone interviewing tomorrow! We got this!

 

[dagoat]

anyone know if vcu's MMI uses teamwork stations or acting/roleplay? or is it just scenario based?

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

From the limited information in the emails, it sounds like 1 traditional station + 6 MMI stations that are scenario based.

Interviewer: "Good luck with the rest of your interview."
Me: "You too." 😵

I am sorry to whoever got their interview rescinded due to being a few minutes late. For all future interviewees, make sure you are online on-time and ready to go when it's your time.

No. Someone else was not let into the interview because they were late. I interviewed successfully. Love the school and the people. Everyone seems happy there.

I emailed the admissions office to the email listed on the portal for general questions about an error on my primary and have not heard back in weeks, do I need to contact them again?

How would you describe the stress level of the MMI scenarios? Any advice to future interviewees?

I would.

Mid stress, not too difficult. Wouldn’t over prepare though.

 

[premed25548384]

I would.

Could I maybe upload it as a letter on to the portal?

I don't know why you would try to correct an error on your primary by emailing the school?
Primary applications can't be amended or changed after submission.

I wanted to let them know that the name of the high school I listed on AMCAS I only attended for a year. So I wanted to correct the name of the high school I actually graduated from as it seems they use it to determine SES and I don't want to mislead.

To those who have interviewed, does the interviewer speak back and forth with you in each session? The email says you "interact" with the interviewer so I am curious, thanks!

Hey! yeah if there is time left after your initial response to the prompt, then the interviewers will ask follow up questions

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

Hold after the selection committee! Yay!

 

[fellow_applicant]

Hold after the selection committee! Yay!

Same. Is this the best outcome we could’ve hoped for or will there be applicants who get the A without being on hold?

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

This is the best outcome. Everyone gets a hold, unless just straight up rejected post interview. Nobody will get accepted without a hold.

[Pre-med7603]

+1 hold email received yesterday.

 

[Ubiquinolenthusiast]

Heads up for ED people:

On VCU's website it says they release ED acceptances on October 1st but looking at past years discussions it looks like the earliest ED acceptance reported on here was on 09/19/2023 and 09/26/2022 the year prior. Hopefully this means people may start hearing back this week !

ED people, be sure to check ur emails this week and good luck everyone 🤞!

As an ED applicant, my thumb is about to fall off from refreshing my email lol

 

[Adiemus]

+hold

[flyingpig07]

Sorry, I just saw this! Complete 7/7

does no hold email so far mean i’ll probably get rejected o-o

 

[ClashRoyaleKing]

I don’t know, I hope not. I think you’d have to really bomb your interview to get that. But only you would know if you did that. How did you feel your MMI went? Did conversation flow? Did your interviewers smile and enjoy talking to you? Those are good signs imo.

I’m sure others did not get the hold email and haven’t posted yet.

I felt good about my interview! I’m just worried, probably a bit too much haha

 

[premed123321]

I don’t think they would give you an II if there was a huge red flag in your app (unless you made a big mistake during the interview and that is what the email is referring to)
