The interview felt just answering a list of questions - didn't feel engaged or conversational.

Nice interview, the actual interview with students and faculty was very casual and friendly.
I would have read up a bit more about the school curriculum on the website.
I thought they could have explained the curriculum a bit longer; they do a unique new curriculum at Minnesota, but we had a very short time going through this piece in terms of how long the interview was.
How friendly my interviewers were.
Practiced Sdn questions + With a friend.
There was a CASPER-style virtual interview before my actual mission interview. I scored in the 2nd quartile on CASPER and thought I kind of flubbed this one up but I still got in
Very pleasant staff, low stress interview, interesting MMI questions
Everything is very straightforward and relaxed
Technical difficulties throughout interview day, as a result did not receive MMI questions ahead of stations
One-on-one interviewer was very nice, MMI interviewers helped me feel more relaxed
Basic MMI prep, spoke to students, prepared answers to common questions
On Zoom. 20 minute interview followed by MMI. Lots of breaks. You get the questions at the start of the day and don't know which one you'll answer until you are in the breakout room.
The admissions team and student ambassadors had a lot of good things to say about student life and support. I was happy to find out about their ongoing review of curriculum to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion. Hands-on learning was also a major plus.
MMI preparation workshop with prehealth group. Mock interviews. Identifying strengths/weaknesses.
Be prepared but don't freak out. Be professional.
Relax more, interviews here are definitely pretty chill and laid-back. Interviewers are nice and friendly.
nothing really (oh, except there was a snowstorm the day before my interview)
Friendliness of the school staff, the school made you feel welcome, students there seem to enjoy the school, free glass bottle with the school logo
Used free mock-interview service at my school, did tons of MMI questions found on the internet with friends and family, a few sessions with an online interview prep person
