steinachu Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Does anyone know of a mock medical school interview we can sign up for ... I have heard of some students doing one before the real thing to help prepare. If so who is offering one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedMocks Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 A few of us med students are offering a mock interview service. If anyone is interested please e-mail medmocks@hotmail.com for pricing info and other details regarding the service. Good luck to everyone who received an interview this year!

silverjelly Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Are the first-year med students doing a free mock this year again? Some of my friends said that it was really helpful. Even if it's not free, are there any mocks at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I heard a rumor that the med1's are doing mock interviews, but I don't think they are free. I am too far out of the loop to know anything else about it or if it is still happening or not. Ask around and find out what's the deal with it.

what Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 At this point in time, I think it's all up in the air still, with regard to whether or not its going to be available free or if there will be a donation or fee. I think most in our class are thinking that it will be a donation type service, with the proceeds going to help build schools in Africa if I recall correctly. More information will be available after the orientation night, I presume. There's also going to be a contact list given out that night with the names and emails of people who are willing to help out with questions, and I'm sure many of them would be more than willing to help out with interviews.

Kuantum Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I e-mailed the Mock Interview service and this was their reply. ---------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for your interest in this program.

vip_138 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 that's kind of expensive but i suppose you are taking up 1/3/4 people's time for atleast 1.5 hours. its certainly interesting but i think i'll just prepare without this service. I think i can scramble up a couple free mock interviews. this guaranteed acceptence is fairly interesting too. So are they really confident that anyone with 9's and 3.8 (assuming 1st quartile interview) will get in? I would have thought 9's and a 3.8, even with good interview, would probably be waitlisted (maybe 2nd acceptance). edit: just went through back threads in uofm, noone with lower than 9.5 mcats were accepted (i think 4.0 gpa) tho there was rumor of a 9.0 and 4.1 gpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I know of multiple people with aroun 9s....however, I don't know what their AGPAs were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrc boy Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I know of 3 ppl that got in with MCAT's around 9-9.5 and AGPA's of around 4. I know someone who had a 11.5 and pretty high GPA who got waitlisted. I thought this guy would of aced the interview but even the best can choke under the pressure. The interview can make you or break your a$$. So pretty much, don't take the interview lightly. I dont care how great you think you are at interviewing, you can always get better.

Suon Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 interesting name. yes there will be feedback. yes there will be 2 interviewers - maybe more - and they'll be students. i think the interview is scheduled so that its 50 mins of interview time and 10 mins of feedback. tho i;m sure if you ask nicely, the interviewers would prolly be willing to give further feedback outside of the scheduled hour. but i think all the spots may have been filled? someone can prolly correct me if im wrong.
