Dr.No Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Wondering if you could offer any insight on how you approached the interviews differently, anything in particular that you think may have made the difference? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medisforme Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Don't practice too much. I got in after my 4th application (had interviewed all 3 years prior). Previously, I had obsessed over practicing my interviewing, joining multiple practice groups etc... This past year I just did a couple of practice sessions with 2 other students and that was it. You can't practice being yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applepie Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I practiced A LOT for the UBC MMI. In general, I think practicing helped me organize my thoughts and express my ideas more coherently. If anything, it helped with my nerves knowing that I've practiced it hundreds of times. I didn't prepare for my other interviews because I practiced for the UBC MMI. Although the other interviews were different, I felt like practicing for the UBC MMI paid off. Also, I found like panel interviews were very easy and laid back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorC Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi Applepie, As this is my first time applying, and I was educated in Europe (which has an entirely different system), I was hoping that you could provide some insight into how a person can best prepare for the MMI. I don't have a peer group who has gone through the Canadian medical school application system, so any and all suggestions would be enthusiastically welcomed! Thanks so much ... and happy new year!
