How did you prepare for the interview?
You really can't. I kind of just winged it with some general research to help get myself mentally prepared. Basic comms skills, ethics were some topics I focused on.
What impressed you positively?
How fluid the whole process was. Its 64 minutes long but it goes by fast. You are in control the whole time, and since you cannot have a wrong response, you can only have a more complete and thus correct response.
What impressed you negatively?
No negatives
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing, I was already informed by the school with details regarding the interview format. They made this process very easy.
What are your general comments?
The MMI is amazing if you have great critical thinking skills and possess the gift of gab. If you have at least those two qualities, you will not have any awkward moments and you will do just fine. All other character traits they test are about who you are so relax, go with the flow, and be your true self. Believe it or not, you're already in at this point, you just need to prove to them you are the same in person as you are on paper.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
None! The MMI format is great
