Hey there! I know that there are multiple MMIs that we need to prepare, but do you recommend we also prepare for traditional questions? And congrats on the A, definitely a difficult feat and I'm proud of you! :)

With everyone getting As, will Jan/Feb interviews be interviews for the waitlist? Seems they might fill the class before then

Lots of chances of getting off the waitlist! Lots of shuffling will be happening around that time.

Hi! Yes, definitely prepare for traditional questions because they do come up! Traditional questions are designed to help you understand your own application and how you come across as a future physician- all of which will be helpful when you’re trying to navigate through the different MMI scenarios! Also remember to make these MMI interviews as conversational as possible. I know it can be intimidating, especially when the interviewers are said to keep a poker face. But, I really tired my best to interact with my interviewers and make it as conversational as possible which I think greatly influenced the A! Good luck and thank you so much for your well wishes! Will be praying for you :)

As an aside, have pre-II R’s been given out yet?
 
Is, received II yesterday. My primary was submitted/complete around 10/10, got secondary less than a week later. Completed everything around 10/14ish.
 
Do anyone know more detaill on UIW clinical rotations? I was wondering for the rotation sites do you stay at the same one all of M3 or do you switch rotation sites? Also do they help you find electives for M4 or it is up to you to find them? If it is up to you are the flexible about it? How is the quality of the rotations and the hospital connections?

Also is anyone willing to lay out a pro cons list for me for UIW?

Hi @medicalstudent4life and welcome to SDN.
Did you interview at UIWSOM? Do you have an interview coming up?
These questions will be covered on your interview day
 
medicalstudent4life said:
Hi! Are these weekly or how often? and are these the only exams you get?
Click to expand...
They occur at the end of every unit, which are usually anywhere between 1-2 months long each. There’s 3 tests at the end of each unit and multiple quizzes during the unit itself.

Questions for those who did the in person interview; 1. Can we take notes during the 2 mins that we are coming up w/our answer? If so, will scratch paper be provided?? 2. Can we have a water bottle with us during the interview?

We can take notes during the 2 minutes and they give a little notepad and pen for us to use or you can use your own scrap paper/notepad. Also you can bring water and they will also provide little bottled water throughout the day! Like you can carry all your belongings with you to the interview area, It's very chill.

Awwwww any tips for the MMI interview? I'm interviewing in-person next week and want to do really well. I already signed the NDA so I guess what I'm asking is for general advice for those that already went through the process

I think the best thing you can do is relax. they really do their best to help us loosen up a bit, laugh and have fun. As someone who has difficulty getting my thoughts out to words, I found making bullet points of topics I would want to discuss on the notepad to be helpful. If I feel like I forget something I would take a glance and remember oh I should talk about this thing I wrote down now, so def make use of those two minutes. I think the unfortunate thing about MMI is that there isn't a way to know what scenario you're given, but always know that it's not going to be anything super hard. If you looked over ones online and came up with a way of answering the scenarios where you look at both sides and evaluate the nuances to everything then you should be good. I think that's all I could really say about it. Make sure to take deep breaths and remember you got this. Also don't be intimidated if the person you meet has a very ._. face... they're most likely purposely doing that haha
