How did you prepare for the interview?
Reviewing sample MMI questions
What impressed you positively?
The people there were all very friendly and seemed happy to be there.
What impressed you negatively?
The interview group was way too large, making it a little more difficult to get to know the school.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That they were also going to be asking more traditional interview questions during the MMI.
What are your general comments?
The interview is nothing to stress over. Even when they bring up something you don't know about, do your best to talk through it. I didn't leave feeling impressed with the school, but their students are apparently doing very well during their clinical rotations. It also didn't seem like the students were able to speak to many things confidently - for example, they mentioned rumors that the school would be moved to the main campus and also used rumors to answer questions about board results.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Have more seating in the reception area if there is going to be that large of a group and you're also serving refreshments - makes it hard to have a drink and a plate of snacks if you're standing.
