Anna's take on Yipiyap's mock interview sessions
All aspiring Medics can relate to, I’m sure, the pressure of MMI Interviews! They can be extremely daunting which is why I cannot recommend enough to the 2020/2021 cohort, Yipiyap’s practice MMI Interviews!
Below are some of my key learnings from the day;
The various stations aren’t easy; tricky questions and scenarios are thrown at you! This is all great experience though as they really emulate well what your real interview will be like. The nerves were jangling but again, this simulates how you will actually be feeling in your proper interview therefore, I would suggest approaching these mock MMIs as the real thing!
It is a great experience to help you practice coping under pressure and in stressful situations; the interviews really teach you to think on your feet!
The interviewers give you extensive and in-depth feedback at each station; this allows you to build on your experience and perhaps develop your weaker areas
You meet people who are in the same boat as you. Applying for Medicine is stressful so being with people who are experiencing the same as you can come as very welcome relief! It is helpful to share your experiences and learn from others
The whole day was extremely enlightening and absolutely worthwhile! Thank you Yipiyap; without a doubt you have equipped us for our future interviews!
