MMI was sucky, one-on-one was fun.

Preparation notes · Within the past 2 years

I wish I had known how to adequately prepare, but no preparation is really needed, just understand the schools mission and be professional.

Reported experiences · Within the past 2 years

The MMI interviewers were dismissive and I felt they really didn't want to be there. I have heard they are told to stick to the script and not really show interest due to time constraints, but I felt I did horrible.

Reported experiences · Within the past 2 years

It was with a student interviewer and he made me feel like I answered every question perfectly

Reported experiences · 2 to 5 years ago

Everyone was very kind. The faculty and staff were very excited about the interview. You could tell that they genuinely wanted to get to know us and were excited for the day ahead.

MSU CHM hosted a wonderful interview day and their MMI was really fun, in my opinion. It's absolutely essential that you understand their mission and values and are able to relate that to your personal aspirations. Have fun during your MMI and present yourself in the most genuine way possible. The interviewers aren't there to trick you or stress you out, they really do want the opportunity to learn more about YOU!

It's okay to ask for clarification or definitions if there is something you don't understand.

Nothing! The interview day on zoom went smoothly and overall I loved the vibes I got from everyone.

Reported experiences · 2 to 5 years ago

The interviewers and interview day hosts were EXTREMELY friendly. After the second station, all my nervousness dissipated and I was more excited than anything. I feel like the MMI was very well-rounded and I had ample opportunity to showcase different aspects about my experiences and personality.

Read the UW Bioethics page, watched MMI videos, reviewed primary and secondary apps in detail, went through entire MSU website and also watched some youtube videos where Dr. Maurer spoke about their admissions process and curriculum!

Reported experiences · 2 to 5 years ago

I was really nervous but MSU CHM did an amazing job! I left the Zoom definitely feeling tired but the questions were thought-provoking and the faculty were great.

One woman was eating while interviewing me at the MMI station so that was weird
