Do MMI scenarios require you to have studied/prepared beforehand? Like on ethics or current issues?

Nope! I definitely did not. Each scenario will give you info on what you'll be asked about or asked to do. They really just want to know what kind of person you are by seeing how you interact and speak about your opinions on the fly. I would prepare by doing some practice questions with a friend just to get more comfortable with speaking on a time limit. Make sure you're familiar with your own morals/ethics as this will help you answer questions like "what would you do and why?". Having some examples from life wouldn't hurt.

Thanks for the response! Would you say it was difficult thinking of enough things to talk about?
 
I just want to make sure... we aren't suppose to get a confirmation email after we select a spot for interviews, correct? mine just has the green box that says selected and I just want to double check thats all! I just got randomly paranoid haha!

You are correct!! Mine has that same little green box that says selected so you are totally okay. It's always good to double check though. You never know.

Sometimes. There will probably be some scenarios where you can relate and have lots to talk about and then some where you literally don't know what to say. I definitely did not feel awesome about every interview that day, but some advice they always give you is that when you leave one interview, leave it behind no matter how you think you did, focus on the next and start fresh.
 
Does anyone know the date when we are suppose to turn in the fall transcripts if admitted? I am in a continuous class and want to try to get it done before those are due!

That would probably be a good question for admissions. They would have an exact date for you. The only thing I was able to find was that all outstanding courses must be submitted and completed by the end of Spring 2019 term.
 
Good luck everyone on next weeks interviews! (They came so quickly 😱) Try not to stress! Also good luck to the people with interviews the week after! I'm sure I'll see you around but none of you will know who I am 😛. If you figure it out come say hi!
 
What’s the weather like in Davis right now? I’ll be coming from snow in Ohio and want to be prepared
 
Anyone else super nervous about the interviews? I’m so bummed— I let nerves get the better of me! I have a terrible feeling I blew my one shot at getting into Davis

Yeah I feel the same way 🙁 I think I was too repetitive and didn't talk about everything that I should have 😳

Yes! I think I missed the mark with a few of them! I wish I could have done better most definitely :/

I definitely feel the same way, for a few I felt like i was getting lost in my thoughts and just kept repeating myself but still not getting my point across:/ I wouldn't be surprised if I got rejected from them, personally. Don't worry though, remember everyone was nervous and those type of questions are designed to make you think on your feet!
 
I think most people feel that way, don't worry! Also remember that you got an interview and that is a huge accomplishment! A large portion of people that get invited for an interview get an acceptance offer. Keep your head up, it's almost over.

Congratulations on being done with interviews! :soexcited:

(except for the VSTP students, I have no idea what your schedules are)

I felt the same as well! And I don’t think it helped that I was feeling MAJOR side effects (nausea, dizziness) from my anxiety medication (for my disorder) so I was trying to hold it together the best I could haha.
 
Hey all! Just wondering if anyone has contacted the school or has heard about a more definitive date about admission decisions? I have interview offers from east coast schools from January 25-28 so I need to book my flights soon to keep the prices low, but my Davis decesion could influence if I even need to fly at all...
Hope everyone was able to enjoy the holiday season and is less nervous than I am about all of the the upcoming news!
 
I think we could possibly hear today or sometime this week? (Based on two years ago)

Thank you!! 😍 I was surprised that students called! I thought it would be someone from admissions haha
 
Congrats to everyone getting good news today! I randomly signed on to SDN for the first time in ages and it happens to be the day people are hearing from Davis. I graduated in 2013 (holy crap, I’m old), and UC Davis is an absolutely amazing school. It was tough, but I have such fond memories from vet school. Good luck to those still waiting to head 🙂
 
does anyone know if they're still calling or if they're done?
