Are there any schools that are known to have a difficult or confusing MMI format? Which ones would you say are the hardest to prepare for?

Why not just make one thread for all of your numerous questions instead of a treating SDN like a personal diary?

You should assume that every MMI will be challenging. Do a google/sdn search to find resources that will help you prepare.

They're all obviously different topics, so I didn't want to bunch them together but sure, I'll consider that

Okay thanks! The reason I asked is b/c my school's interview prep specifically asked which program my mock MMI should tailor to, and my advisor said to pick one with a difficult MMI. I guess I'll just prepare for it in general

I just did an MMI, and it is remarkably easier than being grilled by an adcom for an hour.

Just imagine it as a regular interview, where each question gets asked by a different interviewer.

The point of MMIs is to get better scoring candidates by helping eliminate single-person biases. It's not to trick you.

There's no real way to prep for an MMI. Only advice is to weigh both sides of the situation, think outloud, and be a normal, compassionate human
