crystelle_007 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hi so I've read somewhere that if an applicant fails 3/11 MMI stations, then he/she is rejected. my questions are: 1. what does it mean to "fail" a station? 2. is that the only criteria that determines whether the candidate gets rejected? esp for oop. i was looking at last year's stats: 49 interviewed, 39 accepted and 5 enrolled. for those 10 people that were rejected, did they all fail the mmi or does UMan also have a cutoff for the post-interview formula (40 MCAT, 45 MMI and 15 GPA)? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumanmacbook Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I think if you do something that is completely inappropriate or unethical, then you can "fail" a station. I've heard of someone who yelled at the interviewer and was asked to leave a room. That's a fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fail. yell at the interviewer? ...that's kinda scary. but i'd think the criteria will be more difficult given the quality of applicants i saw during my interview date/circuit.

thehumanmacbook Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 It might be that no one failed, but they rejected applicants because they scored lower than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith_015 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 It might be that no one failed, but they rejected applicants because they scored lower than others. I would likely say that those people not accepted likely scored too poorly on the MMI to be considered acceptable for admissions. Just because an OOP gets an interview, doesn't mean they will automatically be given either acceptance or waitlist. Having helped out with the Mocks this year, I certainly was able to tell strength in interviewing apart from all the interviewees I saw. Some were really excellent, some did OK, and some definitely needed some work. I'm sure they were all intelligent, but at the end of the day, given their scores/feedback as an ad com, I likely wouldn't have granted admission to a the ones who didn't do so well. Can't expect all the OOP's to be exceptional interviewees. That would be statistically significant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_lizards Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Also keep in mind that UofM has two other minimum interview score requirements that have to be met in order to be considered for admission: 1) Total MMI score > 2 standard deviations below the mean 2) Mean score acceptable to the Ad com. (changes year-to-year) So you could potentially pass all 11 stations and still be cut... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
