Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) format with faculty, senior staff, residents, community members and medical students.
Interview Day Overview
For the 2025-2026 interview cycle, all of our interviews will be conducted as synchronous, virtual Multiple Mini Interviews (MMI). The interview experience will consist of informal gatherings with medical students from our COMLS Ambassadors as well as virtual tours and presentations from other campus administrators. (Most of these experiences will occur outside of the interview day.) The interview visit day will include a presentation about our interview format and a 2-hour MMI session with eight interviewees. If you're invited for an interview, the email we send you will contain additional information, including technical requirements and access to the web-based platform.
Interview Invite Timeline
Most schools begin sending invitations September–October on a rolling basis. Earlier is better — submit your primary early. Schools with rolling admissions fill seats throughout the cycle, so late applicants face a more competitive pool for fewer spots.
