💬 Interview Questions

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.

Everything about the school. It was very professional, and I was very impressed with the Dean and his thoughts about the new curriculum.

Their reputation is truly stellar, and their school lives up to it.

Not to stress about the interview format. Remaining calm is essential. It actually ended up being very fun, and a memorable experience.
