Any tips or advice for anyone who has already interviewed? I would say just be relaxed and don't stress it. Its MMI so be prepared for that. Everyone was very nice.

prepa2323 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I recently applied and got an interview invite! This is my first round of interviews and I am pretty nervous. Does anyone have any tips for how to get ready for MMI (without giving any specific information fo course). I thought about buying some interview PA books but not sure if I should spend the weekend studying that or perhaps a different process.

alysosome Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Congrats everyone on getting interview invites! Focus on showing how you would think and act in situations rather than trying to say a "perfect" answer. As long as you do your research on the different types of stations you could encounter in a MMI, you'll be prepared. There's a lot of pressure, but stay calm and just be yourself! Everyone on the WCU team was friendly, so that helps! I had an interview at another program where I felt like they were playing "bad cop, good cop" with me and didn't like that vibe at all. Make sure to show who you are during your interviews. As someone who has gotten rejected after an interview, waitlisted after an interview, and now accepted after an interview, I feel like you have to push yourself to stand out. Being a great applicant isn't enough since there's more qualified applicants than there are seats in any program. I can't emphasize enough to answer with confidence and know what you want to ask the program too. Remember every PA program has their own agenda so trust that the program knows whether you would be a good fit for the cohort that they're building. Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
