University of Vermont

Just how nice, chill, and welcoming everyone in the interview was

Practiced MMI prompts by recording myself and playing it back

Really great interview that was a group task, and then MMI with 7 stations(can't remember total amount) with 1 acting session

Overall, very positive and supportive experience.

To take bathroom breaks while I could, since it is a long day of online interviewing.

Nothing.

The other students I talked to were very kind and humble. The admissions team was also friendly and welcoming.

Did basic MMI questions.

Great interview, very enjoyable time and I hope I am accepted.

After the interview, we had a chance to talk to a student ambassador in groups of seven and she talked very poorly of the Connecticut campus (she chose VT) which was very offputting.

The interviewers were very friendly and genuinely seemed interested in what I had to say

MMI Practice + Mock Interviews

Overall I left very disappointed, I ended up with what felt like a laundry list of negative opinions and very few positive ones.

That there would be no official campus tour

New curriculum means mandatory hands-on group work every day, and clinical rotations are scattered all over the northeast and Florida so housing will be an issue in 3rd and 4th year

The city of Burlington is very quaint and everyone was friendly

The process was very impersonal. The MMI format is far too rigid. It basically turns into a contest of which applicants can answer the question the best instead of giving each applicant the freedom to truly present themself as a candidate.

I liked the closed file interview. I think it makes sense to prevent bias based on mcat score/gpa. The interviewers were very nice.

You have a choice between staying in Vermont or going to Connecticut for clinical rotations.

Area is not diverse.
