MMI Mock Interviews



Hi everyone!

We are about to begin the process of holding one of our most popular events of the year—the personalized, one-on-one mock interviews.  Due to limited supply of interviewers the number of spots for this event is very limited.  We want to give everyone a fair chance at being able to participate in this event, so if you are interested in this event please carefully read the following information on what this event is all about and the instructions on how to secure a very coveted spot for yourself.

What happens during the one-on-one mock interview?
The purpose of this event is to give you a taste of what the pharmacy admission interview will be like.  The questions asked during this mock interview will be MMI style and very similar to those seen on the pharmacy admission interviews.  You will have a 1:1, 30 minute training session with an interviewer, and he/she will ask you 3 questions that you will answer.  Afterwards the interviewer will give you constructive feedback.  For those who have not started preparing for the interviews yet, this will be a great opportunity for you to see first hand what to expect during a real pharmacy admission interview, your strengths as an interviewee, and how to improve for future MMI style interviews.

How do I sign up for this exciting event?
On January 18th (Friday) we will be releasing 8 spots for the one-on-one interview through email.  The spots are first come first serve.  We will be sending out a link to a google doc where you will sign up, so if you do not have a google doc account already you may be interested in making one prior to this date.
We will have another round of interviews the following week.  There will be a second sign up for these sessions at a later date.  If you are not able to procure your spot on January 18th, please try again during the second round.

Please note that you must be a member of Pre-Pharmacy Society to participate at this event. Those who are not members at this present time may sign up for membership at the event.
