MMI prep, practice questions online
-
Reddit, multiple public health policies and current health news articles, mock interviews
-
Went over common interview questions as well as my experiences
What impressed you positively?
-
faculty and students really passionate about school
-
The traditional interviewer knew my whole application really well by memory, and the innovative curriculum (especially the exploration 3rd year!)
-
The school is very state-of-the-art in their facilities and their curriculum, which fits their attitude to provide innovation to healthcare.
-
The medical students seemed to love their school, they were a close knit group and I could tell they were happy.
What impressed you negatively?
-
students expressed a lack of mental health/wellness support but faculty said they were working on it
-
Student guides seemed very stressed.
-
They don't stream their lectures, so you would have to attend lecture to get access to certain material.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
-
Super conversational interview. Don’t over prepare.
-
Believe in yourself! If you are interviewing here its because you are the shit.
What are your general comments?
-
Very long interview day but it felt like there were a lot of opportunities to do well.
-
The MMI questions were not that stressful and were actually kind of interesting. The group activity wasn't too bad as well. The one-on-one was more nervewracking for me than the MMIs. Try to relax, even if the person interviewing you looks intimidating and not friendly.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Success!
