Definitely interact with your peers! They're all as nervous as you are. Be supportive of one another and don't be shy. I feel like making friends before the interview made the whole thing much less nerve-wracking.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Because it's MMI, we are not allowed to disclose what specific questions were asked. I will say that they are impossible to prepare for, and also impossible to "fail." Everyone is in the same boat as you. I believe that the purpose of MMI is to level the playing field for all the applicants, regardless of stats/background info.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Obviously combed through SDN for any possible clues as to what they might ask. As I said before, it's impossible to prepare for!
What impressed you positively?
Everything about the school. It was very professional, and I was very impressed with the Dean and his thoughts about the new curriculum. Most of the dental students I interacted with were extremely friendly and happy to answer questions. Great facilities and a great program. Their reputation is truly stellar, and their school lives up to it.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Not to stress about the interview format. Remaining calm is essential. It actually ended up being very fun, and a memorable experience.
