rv215 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Does anyone by chance know how to see what other dates are available for interviews without giving up the spot you already selected? The calendar option goes away once you select a date....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank youuu I have been through the MMI format and there is not a great way to prepare as the number of different scenarios they can present you are limitless. In my opinion, the MMI format is best at evaluating your true person. Just be yourself and answer how you would if you were asked by a friend. Don't try to formulate a response based on what you think they may want to hear. There are some sample scenarios that you could review to help ease the transition from traditional to MMI format, but do not rehearse responses.

TaraMiller Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Can anyone shed some light on how the interview process is??? I know its MMI format, but can anyone who has gone through the process give some advice on how to prepare for it?? I am interviewing in November and am just trying to prepare for it!!!! Thank youuu My advice to you as a current RFUMS student would be to review the school's mission statement as well as their ethics. Physician assistants have a code of ethics they follow during practice. The MMI is designed to evaluate if you match well with the mission or the school and have a personality that would be successful as a PA. I would not read the responses online for MMI topics but do some self reflecting about hot topics in the news right now. I would understand how you feel about certain situations you will encounter in practice and how you might deal with them. There is no right or wrong answer for the MMI. It is able to gauge your thought process and make sure you're able to explain yourself. Understand the schools interprofessionalism values and how working as a team is crucial for success. Professionalism is huge at this university so make sure you dress well and treat all people with respect. Stay calm during the process and when that mini interview is finished leave it behind and focus on the next one. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bforbecca Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Has anyone who has interviewed heard back yet? They told us two weeks in the interview and its been about that. Silence on my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluxepickle Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I got an email on the 31st that restates the 4-6 week estimate that we got during the admissions slideshow. I don't know if it is automatic or not but secretly hoped that the 2-4 weeks time frame was more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrynight Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 The next interview date is the 16th so I'm guessing we'll hear back before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic3 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Two weeks? I believe they told us 4-6 weeks. I did also get the confirmation email just after the interview that said that. It's definitely nerve-wracking waiting so long, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrynight Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 At the end of the day, the director told us that it would be two weeks. It was also on her PowerPoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimistic3 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Waitlisted as well. I don't understand how they can say the class is full already when that was the first interview date. Oh well, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed because I really loved the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
