tingting Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 For those who got an interview, can you share by which date you have to decline/accept the interview invitation? I received my invite on the first day (March 29) and I had to reply by Sunday, April 2nd. So I think those who didn't respond or declined, their spots would have been offered today or at least sometime soon this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klem Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I still haven't received an email. Would it be wise to contact the admissions office about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDuke93 Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Congrats SynB! Klem - It wouldn't hurt to contact Carol Kuang @ UBC PharmD Admissions to inquire on how the interview invitations are sent out. While the chances of receiving one are diminishing, I never gave up hope and called them to inquire all the time. Give them a call and see what they say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDuke93 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Just wondering, how are you guys preparing for the interview? Depends where you live! There are a few posts above about the MMI Facebook Groups, join them! I offer Skype sessions to practice for the MMI's; offered on weekend evenings.

westbrook1 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Does anyone happen to know if the interviewers for the MMI interact with you during the 5 minute interview? Or do you have to talk for 5 minutes straight to argue your point? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCPharmGirl Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Does anyone happen to know if the interviewers for the MMI interact with you during the 5 minute interview? Or do you have to talk for 5 minutes straight to argue your point? Thanks! When I did it last year the interviewers interacted with you a bit to ask follow-up questions so you ended up talking for the first little bit and then they would ask you questions to guide you to the points that they really wanted to know about. In the interactive actor station you don't talk to the assessor though, just the actor. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westbrook1 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 @BCPharmGirl Thank you, that helped a lot! How did you prepare for the interview? Did you follow a certain guideline for answering questions or did you just go with the flow and spoke whatever came to mind? If I start to ask questions about the scenario will the interviewer answer my questions or will my answer have to be given solely based on the paragraph written on the door?

If I start to ask questions about the scenario will the interviewer answer my questions or will my answer have to be given solely based on the paragraph written on the door? While I can't answer for BCPharmGirl, if you are looking to practice for this year's MMI, there are a couple options: 1) UBC MMI Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1167080533401686/?ref=group_browse_new 2) Another Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/395530617470490/?ref=group_browse_new 3) Skype MMI Practice Sessions: I offer these mainly on weekends or by special request (there is a schedule with openings). Sessions include discussing ethics principles, discussion of ethic questions, practice MMI questions in a similar style and feedback on delivery. If this is of interest, add "chrisduke5838" on Skype and I will add you to the group for MMI Practice. That is all I have for how to prepare! You can also find practice UBC MMI Questions (Medicine) here: http://science-student.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2014/01/Sample-Questions-2013-2014.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I start to ask questions about the scenario will the interviewer answer my questions or will my answer have to be given solely based on the paragraph written on the door? I did some practice with friends to get familiar with having to come up with something to say quickly so I would recommend doing that a few times or if you can meet up with other people applying through CDuke93's links then I would recommend that. I didn't really follow any guideline because every scenario is kind of different, but I'm sure some people did and that may have helped them. The interviewer may not be able to answer your questions so I would suggest just going off of whatever is on the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDuke93 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Does anyone confirmed when they would release the results? Based on previous year's threads; expect results after the May Long Weekend. That week is when you can most likely expect the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disastrous Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 This wait is way to long.. anyone have any updates? Boy I ran into this thread thinking there was an update since the last comment was on May 8. As the above posters said, there should be offers given out this week or early June , if they follow what they did last year (I checked last year's thread too).
