✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the mission statement, re-read my application, watched the videos on the new curriculum (did this anyway because I was interested), talked to current CHM students about the curriculum/atmosphere/etc., and did a practice MMI at my university (among other things). All of this was useful for me.

What impressed you positively?

The student interviewer was extremely professional, funny, and open about the pros and cons of the school and the curriculum, as were the med students we ate lunch with (the food was great too). The admissions team knows what they're doing, they put on a really great day!

What impressed you negatively?

No negative impressions. Great day all around.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

1. This is an incredibly low stress interview, and the MMI was arguably one of the best parts. 2. I was too excited to get a good amount of sleep the night before, and by the end of the last presentation I was beat. Make every effort to get some decent shuteye beforehand, because it's a LONG day of interviews and presentations and it probably leaves a bad impression to nod off while someone is talking.

What are your general comments?

Best interview experience by far. If you have the honor of receiving an invitation then be sure to make the most of it! Have fun and enjoy the moment.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. CHM puts on a great interview day.
