drzew1 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hi everyone! For those of you who have already interviewed, how did you prepare for the MMI style? I have been practicing scenarios and how I would formulate my answer during the interview. I should clarify that I am not memorizing answers to questions, I am specifically practicing my ability to concisely formulate and concisely answer the questions/scenarios in front of me. I want my answers to sound genuine but I also do not want to talk in circles due to nerves. I interview on September 14th! Thank you in advance!

I googled example MMI questions and had friends and family ask me them! I would practice sticking to the 5 or 8 minute rule. You’ll feel like you’re rambling but that’s the point! They want to hear your thought process on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, sounds like an amazing range of experiences! I'm planning to branch out from scribing into EMT, might consider some of these as well^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prepa23456 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 For those who already interviewed: how long do they take to get back to you about the final admissions decision? Is it two weeks post-interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaw07h Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Does anyone know about how long the interview day lasts? I have an interview on 8/24/18 at 11am. I wanted to book my flight back home the same day, I'm not sure if a 4:30pm flight would be cutting it too close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ckess37 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 That would definitely cut it way too close! We were released at 4:30 pm, and I would give yourself at least an hour to get to the airport, as that’s close to rush hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaw07h Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 @ckess37 thank you for that info! Maybe I will just stay an extra night and leave 1st thing in the morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, you can't really prepare because they want to see your thought practice. So when answering questions, verbalize what you're thinking and how you get to your answer. Good luck!
