💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read about MMI format online and spoke with a vet who previously did interviews at the school
What impressed you positively?
I actually enjoyed the MMI. Its kind of refreshing to know that the playing field is equal between everyone.
What impressed you negatively?
Not that I was not aware before applying, but Blacksburg is very rural. But on the upside cost of living is great!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I was pretty aware of how MMI was going to work. I am still confused because they tell you to expect "little feedback" during the interviews but I actually did get feedback from most...which kind of got into my head that maybe I wasn't saying enough or that I was not filling up enough time?
