Application Tips with Apply Point: What Your MMI Interviewers are Evaluating

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Sometimes what you're being evaluated on will be obvious, other times, not so much. "We do not tell applicants what characteristic we are testing them on in a given MMI prompt," an admissions team member told us. You don't have to emphasize all of these in every response, but qualities and abilities they're looking for you to express during the MMI are:

• Critical thinking skills
• Communication skills (This means being good at listening, not just talking.)
• Ethical judgment
• Empathy
• Interpersonal skills (Patience, collaboration, etc.)
• Self-awareness
• Teamwork skills
