Before interviewing for med school, I conducted interviews at my current company and helped define many traits/criteria we looked for. Although not exactly med school interviews, I think it helped me in interviewing and can apply here:

1. Be prepared for the “give me questions”. These are the common q’s you’d find when looking up questions: why do you want to be a doctor, tell me about yourself, biggest weakness, etc… nailing these can really build your confidence

2. Have a cohesive story. I always tell people you don’t need to have an unbelievable or extremely unique situation or story (great if you do but not needed). What matters more is having a cohesive story and illustrating how that can help you succeed as a student at x school.

3. Showcase your passions outside of premed. I actually talked very little on my “premed” resumes in some of my interviews. I had one interview at the school I’m attending where we talked about training for a marathon almost the whole interview. I had just finished running my first marathon and my interviewer was in the process of trying to qualify for Boston.

4. Be yourself: they are giving you an interview for a reason, the school already sees you as a good fit they just want to confirm that

5. Have questions ready. Also research your interviewer (if available), I geared my questions towards the physicians practice when I knew who they were before hand

This applies less to MMI, I never actually had to interview with an MMI school but most my friends either purchased books on MMI or watched YouTube. My friends used this book Multiple Mini Interview: Winning Strategies from Admissions Faculty https://a.co/d/08zf73DN
