💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
During my one-on-one interview (one of the 8 stations in the MMI), all of my questions were based on my application. The interviewer had highlighted certain parts of my personal statement and activities that she wanted to discuss with me.
How did you prepare for the interview?
I re-read my AMCAS and secondary application.
What was the most difficult question?
It was very conversational and all of the questions were personal or standard.
What impressed you positively?
The admissions staff is extremely nice and sensitive to the fact that we were nervous about the MMI format.
What impressed you negatively?
OHSU does not grant you in-state tuition after you successfully switch state residency to Oregon. Your residency status (to them) stays the same as it was when you were admitted.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
MMI is not that bad. There's not enough time to be stressed between interviews and it goes by really fast.
