Is there a list for interview styles?

[Meeza]

I swear in the past I've seen a list of interview styles for each school but I can't find it. For example, I think I've heard Michigan does MMI. Anyone know of a great source?

MMI is rough.

Does it matter that much? Just be yourself and don't fret.

Regardless of the style, don't over prepare and just act natural. You can't control the style and there's no reason to get nervous. Interviews are fun, make the most of them.

What's MMI?

I appreciate the responses, everyone. It's not necessarily important, but it's nice to know what style you're walking into to, since nerves are likely going to trip me up anyway.

And MMI =multiple mini interview 🙂

The types of interviews I had were: 2 back to back 1 on 1 interviews (faculty), 3 on 1 interviews (2 faculty, 1 dental student), MMI (usually 1 on 1 interviews with 8 or so doctors, but there is variety), and 2 on 1 interviews (two faculty).

Surprisingly, I enjoyed the MMI format the most.

Theres an interview feedback section on sdn. It tells you what style it is and more.

Best bet is to read the previous years school specific lists. But be aware that some schools do change from year to year.
