During an MMI interview day, will I at any point be asked the typical "Why medicine?" "Why this school?" "Tell me about yourself" questions?
10/10 for getting the reference 🙂African or European?

FWIW, not a single school so far has asked the "tell me about yourself" question. However, I have gotten why medicine in all interviews except the MMI.Very much depends on the school. But you should have an answer for these questions anyways since you'll almost certainly be asked all three in traditional interviews.

Thanks for this.No, that will usually be in a one on a one interview. There is an MMI series on youtube (16 episodes from one medical school) that will give you a good feel for what goes on
Thanks for the information. Seems like there is a great deal of variety in how the schools use the MMI, very interesting.An update, for those interested:
I had an MMI with about 10 stations and i got asked once “why medicine?” and a few times about my extracurriculars. Each station had an ethical question but some were short and the interviewers used the remaining time to ask typical interview questions.
I think MMIs really suck.
Just don't let it get to your head too much otherwise you will see MMI scenarios everywhere in your life!I admit that before the cycle, I totally agreed with this sentiment. "Give me the one-on-one," I shouted.
But positive results from the two schools that used MMI where I interviewed at converted me.
Crazy how success changes one's perspective. 😕
Was the timing the same for the open section or was it slightly longer? Thx in advance.Sometimes MMIs will consist of impersonal and personal stations. For example, you might have 8 or 9 stations, and one or two of them COULD be open file. The prompt could be "tell us about a time you faced adversity", or "what is an achievement you're most proud of". I know at my MMI on top of those 8 or 9 personal + impersonal stations, we had like one station that was totally prompt-less and open, so the interviewer could ask any question he/she wanted. There, I definitely got asked "tell me about yourself".
Thanks for the prompt response.The "the-personal-but-part-of-MMI-staion-with-prompt" are short and the same length as those that are impersonal. The open, prompt-less was twice as long (don't know if they have changed anything).
Sorry, can't hep it :-( but you passed with flying colors!I see what you did there....😛
Funny how that happens. lolI admit that before the cycle, I totally agreed with this sentiment. "Give me the one-on-one," I shouted.

Too funny!Funny how that happens. lol
acting stations, ethical questions, traditional questions, non-ethical questions regarding healthcare, short essays, and questionnaires
Failing to know that reference should be an automatic disqualifier for med school. If an applicant hasn't seen that movie, then they must not have attended college and their academic credentials are therefore counterfeit.I will be thoroughly disappointed in anyone who doesn't get that reference. I'll send the rabbit after them.
