How do you prepare yourself for a multiple mini interview (MMI)?

 

[pubhealthdent]

Same way you prepare for any other interview. It'll be the same types of questions you'd get in a standard interview. Typically they're 1-on-1 interviews which makes it more conversational, which made me more relaxed and less like I was sitting in front of the firing squad.

Didnt you literally answer this question yourself on the AZ still thread?

No, must have my username confused with someone else. Didn’t even know what an MMI is until 3 days ago.

That literally is the only thing you can do is BE YOURSELF. IT WILL MAKE YOUR INTERVIEW SO MUCH LESS STRESSFUL. If you memorize everything, you’re going to sound like a robot talking. Just be yourself..

Pretty sure this is your quote

I’m talking about MMI, not a regular interview

MMI sounds scary, but it's pretty much just speed dating. Practice answering prompts out loud with your friends if you want to. Like what do you think about gun control? Or how would you approach xyz? You can be asked anything. Dental/non-dental

Will there be different questions asked in every interview or are they all pretty generic?

Like what do you think about gun control?

No one is going to ask about controversial/political topics

The MMIs I experienced each started with a generic (but different from the others) question and then just evolved from there. Definitely more conversational than your standard question-answer-repeat format

I'm sure they mainly ask about ethical questions.

 

[pubhealthdent]

Be prepared to expound on anything that is in your application. Not all schools/ interviews will have you app in front of them but most will have at least read through it so you need to be able to track about every volunteer event, hobby, shadowing experience, college course, etc. that you put in your app

There will likely also be ethical questions, possibly one on current events, and the obvious ones like why dentistry, why our school, etc

If you look on youtube, they have lots of videos about MMI strategy. That a good resource to use to prepare for the interview.
