💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
In my long interview my interviewer had made a great deal of effort to know my application inside and out and asked more qeustions to further her understanding of my application, very relaxing.
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.
What impressed you positively?
The facility where you will learn also has classes for dental and nursing students. Seemed very collaborative and friendly.
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.
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.
