Jojef Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hi All, I'm interviewing at UBC in Feb (and really hoping to interview at another Alberta school this cycle). However, I live in Calgary. Anyone currently living in Alberta that would be interested in MMI practice? I'd even be willing to travel to Edmonton. Lots of great practice questions with no fellow keeners to practice on! Thanks, Jojef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILuvCrossFit Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Soooo I'm away in Europe most of February so I want to get started on a few MMI practice sessions. I'm located in Edmonton and would be willing to host a small session Saturday, January 14, 2012: 10am - 4pm (or whenever we feel we're finished). Sorry friend, I cannot drive to Calgary to practice as I work Sundays. Considering new advice, I'm going to just have the one and then if I think I need more maybe we can do more.

ThomasRolland Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Just be careful who you guys get "advice" from during these meet-ups. 1. Lots of pre-meds trying to screw other people over with the wrong advice 2. Studies have shown that any preparation/practice for the MMI is negatively correlated with performance!

I agree in that you need to approach these sessions with an open, but cautious mind. Re: pt #1: I'm personally not too worried about getting screwed over by fellow pre-meds ... for those that attempt this, though, there is no doubt a special spot reserved for them in premedical purgatory. Disagree with you on pt #2, though. Moderate practice gives you the opportunity to put your readings, strategy etc. to work in a practical, if imperfect, environment. I agree with you in that going OCDC on the practice as a cure-all for your maladaptive social skills isn't going to do you any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to come to a practice session on the 14th if you are willing to host one! I live in Edmonton as well and got an interview at UBC, I haven't done any prep yet except for a little reading. Let me know where etc... I probably won't be able to go straight from 10 till 4 tho. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Hey OJ, Only hosting practice in Calgary now, but if you want to make a day of it and drive down in the coming weeks, we're more than happy to have you. Had our first on Thursday and went very well. Jojef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
