At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read responses on SDN's interview feedback, watched youtube channels for MMI tips, read a book on interview tips, interviewed at other schools, wrote answers to common/expected questions and read them out loud the night before the interview.
What impressed you positively?
The garden wall and fountain.
What impressed you negatively?
How small the campus is. I like to hide. Also a lot of OMM kool-aid. Trying to squeeze in the tour between the traditional interview and the MMI.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the MMI is not traditional. They basically make their own mini version and the prompts are essentially impossible to 'prepare' for. Act natural.
What are your general comments?
Felt like I was my best self on interview day, felt like I nailed both the traditional interview and MMI, was excited to receive a swift acceptance. Top choice school.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Please schedule the campus tour after both the traditional interview and MMI. It was hard to act not anxious and engage with the tour guides when all you care about is getting the MMI over with. I really appreciated the effort the adcom made to help us relax, though, and I enjoyed the morning presentation, coffee and the lunch provided.
