How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Multiple med students said there's no real way to prepare for MMI except to know about current healthcare events and relax. Don't practice scenarios, it will only stress you out.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The facility where you will learn also has classes for dental and nursing students. Seemed very collaborative and friendly.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The school is in downtown Portland, so you trade the amenities of being downtown for being able to drive to school. Fortunatly there's extensive public transportation that goes directly to the school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To relax. The interview can be fun if you let it. The MMI is about making you think, and sharing how you think with your interviewers.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The people were very nice and the application pool is very diverse. Don't focus on what makes you unique, focus on what you've learned from the experiences you have had and how it pertains to medical school.
