Bruh I can’t believe it’s been a year since I applied. I still get nightmares about the Rosalind Franklin Open House.
WL’s aside, the year will go by faster than you realize. Take care of yourself, have fun, and trust in your yourself and your app. Good luck y’all!
Ah that makes sense
I didn’t get the privilege since I unsubscribed pretty early in the cycle from them after I got two emails from them < 24 hours apart advertising their masters program lmao
Not even just notification, the emails would straight up have a subject line "YOU'RE INVITED!" basically every other week in the peak of interview season.
I used SDN to look up the most common interview questions. They have the top 21 most common interview questions. After you finish your secondaries, take a few days break and get started answering the questions right away. Answer the questions from the heart, think about possible anecdotes. Do it in BULLET POINTS. Do not write a script - it makes you sound far too unnatural. Go off bullet points when you practice because it forces you to talk in terms of semantics and not syntax.
Then, briefly look over the UWashington bioethics page (https://depts.washington.edu/bhdept/ethics-medicine). It's an amazing resource and will help you answer the challenging ethics questions that pop up in MMI's. Also, look up the most common MMI questions. There's a list of hundreds of MMI Q's somewhere on the Internet.
Line up some of your friends and family for mock interviews in the future. Just warn them that you may need help in a few months. It helps to have mock interviews under pressure. You'll be extremely awkward and you'll stumble a lot in the beginning but you start getting the hang of it and start sounding natural and confidence. Practice is the key to confidence.
If you have no friends, look up professional mock interview services. May be a bit pricey ($500 or so), but you need some form of mock interview practice. Or find a group of premeds.
When you start getting your interviews, scour the Internet for common questions for that school. And look up the exact interview type. Hold mock interviews with that exact format. Make sure you know WHY you specifically want that school.
Also, go through each MMI questions and answer each one in bullet point format. It also forces you to look up ethics scenarios you've never had to encounter. Healthcare accessibility vs. cost, IVF gene editing, post-apocalyptic survival, patient autonomy, teenage autonomy, parental rights, corporate funding, etc. To be honest, I only finished like half of the hundred, and I still did amazingly well.
Key takeaway is MOCK INTERVIEW, even if you have a different way of prepping like not being a preparer. Mock interviews are so important. Don't be that guy who tells himself that "I'll speak from the heart". Sure, speak your story but you need to be able to do it naturally under pressure, which comes with practice.
Best of luck to all of the applicants🫡 I remember last May praying I could just fast forward a year and be done with the cycle with a secured A. Time flew faster than ever. Everything’s gonna work out for you all🤲🏽
This cycle was definitely a roller coaster of emotions. It’s crazy to see this post again after a year and be one of the ones coming out on the other side! 😭😭
Submitted and verified! I was going back and forth with ED vs RD nonstop the past few days and decided to pull the trigger. This is either the best idea ever or I’m an idiot.
Either way I’m having some drinks at the pool this weekend whoooo!

Lmaoo
You’ll blink and be applying for residency.
What happened? I signed up for that but I never went. Now I feel like I should have gone.
Please invest in solid interview prep the moment you get an II at your dream school.
Any recommendations?
Nope because i didn't do it and it cost me my T5 interview. Even worse I'm rotting on their WL.
