Bindaas Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Ummm...hard to know but my guess would be 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekazoo Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I kind of bombed one station, but several other people on my circuit agreed with me that it was weird, so it looks like it will probably average out. Otherwise I always felt like I had lots to say about the issues that they brought up, and rarely used less than the allotted eight minutes. Whether that really adds up to a successful interview I don't know. If I were to assign a number, I'd say something like 80 +/- 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrne Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 It was an experience -- hard to put a number to it. Overall I think it went well. Looking back, I feel like I couldn't have done anything different to prepare and felt I performed the best that I could have ... except for the last station. The excitement of it being the last station I think caused me to lose focus ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itimebomb2 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 definitely felt lie i aced some stations while messing up a few (particularly my first station). the more i think about it, the more i hate my life! lol. but its done. can only wait now...

mermaid Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 the more i think about it, the more i hate my life! Ha, I think the key is not to think about it too much, otherwise I remember everything I feel I messed up instead of what good things I may have said....

panda__eyes Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I actually didn't enjoy my MMI experience at all...it felt very stressful, rushed and tiring but that's just my personal opinion. I much prefer a panel interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercegovka Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Likewise... I was not confident coming out of the interview... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janny_jan Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 My first couple of stations were tricky and I know I was a bit shakey. The acting station was tough but I was expecting it to be. My final two stations were pretty good (according to myself......which doesnt mean much) so it was great to end on a bit of a high note. I'm remembering all of the stupid stuff I said though so I think I give it a 75 +/- 5 hahahaha! The rep. from Niagara was hilarious this afternoon! I'd go to that campus just for him.

rskhan29@hotmail.com Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I was stressed out going into the MMI, but I felt super relaxed once it actually began. It really was not too bad at all (for me, at least). I have no idea how well I did, but I felt more comfortable during my Mac interview than I did anywhere else.

Really folks , choose a number between 1 & 100 for ur MMI performance. We all know that it is our own perception & means diddly squat but give it a shot.Think of it like an MMI station where you are forced to make a choice-- your best choice.

moreaulover Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 lol - well dropping my lowest and highest and averaging the middle 8 stations, id give myself a 78. Do they actually drop your lowest and highest stations to calculate your final interview score?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panda__eyes Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Don't they scale you based on percentile though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregGregson Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Do they actually drop your lowest and highest stations to calculate your final interview score?? That's what I'd like to know FOR SURE. Wonder if they'd reveal that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that it is our own perception & means diddly squat but give it a shot.Think of it like an MMI station where you are forced to make a choice-- your best choice. haha...well, others' performance is beyond our control, true. And a single number or range is oversimplifying and making some assumptions, true. However, your "interview score" will be an aggregate similar to the 0-100 scale, except based on percentiles relative to other applicants that day. And as for your own perceptions meaning nothing, I see where you're coming from, though I'd have to disagree. I know myself well enough to assess my performance in a somewhat objective way. I'm sure that goes for many others as well. Not only that, but the subtle, if sometimes unintentional feedback some interviewers may give (smiles, nods, "good point") also helped me line my perceptions up with the info that's locked away in Mac's file cabinets right now. So I think most people that have made it this far have a fairly realistic perception of their capabilities and their actual performance today, yesterday, or on the 6th, relative to those capabilities.

g37 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 That's what I'd like to know FOR SURE. Wonder if they'd reveal that? I'm pretty sure the only time they would drop a station is if it's a conflict of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregGregson Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I'm pretty sure the only time they would drop a station is if it's a conflict of interest. So they don't drop the highest and lowest score anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinkofaname Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Mine felt pretty good. No station went horribly. I'd say 89-93/100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g37 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 So they don't drop the highest and lowest score anymore? What makes you say "anymore"? I could be wrong, but I don't think they normally drop them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Heart Rural Med Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Honestly, it is so hard to know. Could have been a 65, could have been an 85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janny_jan Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I think I might have been a bit too relaxed/joking with a bunch of the stations. I'm afraid I might have come off unprofessional OH WELL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_88 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I thought his talk was the best part of that entire information session (videos included!) Is it just me or did he look like Dr. James Wilson from House? I think I might have been a bit too relaxed/joking with a bunch of the stations. I'm afraid I might have come off unprofessional OH WELL! Unprofessional, or a fun, well-balanced future colleague ? Overall, my experience was good. I did the 12-station Mac interview last year, and this year went much better! I am rather superstitious so I refuse to put a number to this round, but last round was somewhere around a 50 or 60... I came out complaining to my father of all the things I should have said. I was rejected. Sigh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
