interview practice?

[maple123]

Hi all, 

I was just wondering is there is a dal interview facebook group or something where we can practice interview together? MUN has it and they also have current medical school students leading those groups? Maybe I am just missing something?

There is a Facebook group called “Ask a med student- Dalhousie Class of 2025” where you can ask current med students questions, etc! I don’t think they really use it to practice per say but they provide some resources.

If anyone is interested in practicing for the interview in a group call or if someone needed a MMI partner, I would be happy to coordinate something. This is my first time interviewing and am a bit nervous, but I think it would be great to meet fellow interviewees and talk about the process (help each other out during this time).

Hey I'm down! I interviewed last year at MUN only (improved my MCAT score for this year).

Yes, same! Would love to do some practicing!

I can create a private FB group and post the link here and we can all coordinate calls

@jmn753: That would be great if you could!  Was just thinking about what would be the best way to coordinate this.

Has anybody tried a coaching service? I'm hoping to improve my score.  Came across this: https://bluedolphintraining.com/

 

Definitely an old style website, but it was recommended to me.

I used blue dolphin the first time I had an interview at Dal back in like 2014. I found it helpful since it was my first interview and didn't know what to expect, scored ~31/40 on the interview that year. There are lots of practice groups that will pop up closer to the interview if you don't want to pay for coaching though.

How much was the coaching if you don't mind sharing? How many coaching hours did you do total?

Oh man it was such a long time ago I don't really remember. Back then you could get different "packages" for so many sessions, I did the minimum number and it ended up being maybe 4-5 sessions that were 1-2 hours long I think?
