Thank you so much! You're very helpful
And there are plenty of links online that surprisingly have questions that are EXTREMELY similar to the ones asked in the interviews so just a matter of searching for them and practice, practice, PRACTICE! (make sure to do it out loud and video tape yourself if possible!).
Hello! Forgive me if this is somewhere on your profile but are you from Alberta? If so, University of Alberta does mock MMI interviews for both students and non-students for a fee.

Unless they’ve changed things this year, they just treat it like any other course (so it would be averaged). You can email Heather or Shauna to confirm that.
Hi @Rooney_11! This isn't my first time applying. My first time I completely underestimated it and basically walked into the interviews knowing only some current events and a few questions in the back of my mind from interviews I've had before (not vet school). But after I've been through the process I can tell how much practice will help, so I started early this year and have been practicing since July-ish

When I got my offer they told me interview dates and asked if there was any that I would not be able to make it to, and they would try to work around that. However you certainly don’t get to choose; they email you a time and date once everyone lets them know availability.
If you check on your WCVM portal it now says the dates for interviews depending on where you have them! For BC applicants I believe it is May 1-2 in Saskatoon and May 6-9 in Maple Ridge for first rounds, and May 27-28 in Saskatoon for second rounds.

As for choosing a date, although you can't necessarily pick a day they are very flexible. Last year I could only take it on one of the dates provided at a specific time and they were able to make that happen for me. You never know when you ask!
This would apply to all US applicants that going to veterinary school out of state or Caribbean schools, wouldn’t it?
Absolutely. I personally would not be in veterinary school if I was paying those fees, and I know multiple of my classmates feel the same way. There is lots of conversation on the debt situation in American students on these forums, since most members are from the US.
And you as well!!!Thanks so much! Good luck on your interview this year!!
I didnt get any emails either!
Strange maybe their system went down?
I know how tough the waiting game is! Hopefully you will have some good news soon!
Keep in mind they are probably receiving a huge influx of emails and phone calls at this time.
Me too ☺️
Really I think they can be anyone that you think will give you a strong reference.Hahah my bad i meant Calgary! Thats what i get for posting at 1:39 am lol. Would you say that I’d be okay with bringing it along and asking the people at the check in desk to place the phone somewhere? Also, as we have to be there at 7:30 and interviews dont start till 9am, is there just talks and introductions for the 1.5 hours? Do they go over rules of the mmi stations cuz i have a few questions about how it works. Thank you for taking your time to guide us!In previous years there has been a couple of vet students you can leave your phone with, but not sure if they are still doing this! Other belongings can get left in "base camp" room you return to between the interview and the essay. Also I think you meant Calgary, don't go to Edmonton for your interview
My personal reference was the medic that worked at the horse shows I competed at, who I had a very good relationship after he picked me out of the dirt a few too many times

Okay i will be sure to let them know at the start! Thank you, and see you at CSB tour
I think you also have one minute to rotate to the next station and you can start reading as soon as you get there, but I may be confusing that with our OSCE setup. They'll explain it all on the day of though no worries for concerns! I'm going to be one of the current first years helping you guys (come find me at the registration table if you want!). There will be this very calm voice telling you about timing (this will absolutely stop being calming by the time you get OSCEs as nessity stated
) , if i remember there was a clock in the room when i interviewed, and the buzzer states movement and it will let you know (you usually start with your back to the prompt and then once the voice tells you you have time to read the prompt and then go in). They also make it ABUNDANTLY clear and feel free to ask questions We're all here to help!no worries for concerns!

also if i remember correctly i personally left my phone in my luggage case at the place i was staying, but those who had their phone gave it in to the group leaders of the session. Just make it abundantly clear you do not have it on you for any process of the actual interview
Thank you both so much! I’ve been practicing for the mmi and didnt know whether i should be worried about gauging how much time i have left! Glad to hear that they allot some time for you to get to the next station. Do they provide any follow up questions or do you sit in silence until time is up? I’ve been practising mmis with med kids and they dont get penalized for using prompts. Wonder if vet is similar. And lol i hope my interview goes well so one day, i too can complaing about the OSCEsI believe they use the "you have one minute remaining" voice over that if you get into UCVM will haunt you for the rest of your days... they use it for the OSCEs as well
Also looking forward to meeting you Saturday morning!no worries for concerns! I'm going to be one of the current first years helping you guys (come find me at the registration table if you want!).
