It’s hard to believe that it’s the middle of April and the Multiple-Mini Interviews are less than 3 weeks away! Congratulations to those who are advancing to the next stage of the admission process!
While it’s difficult to give advice on how to prepare for interviews, we’d like to share some important things to remember when preparing for your interviews:
- Prepare yourself as if it is a job interview. We won’t ask you to solve math equations, but we will expect you to respond to questions and scenarios. Make sure you come dressed appropriately, do not wear strong scents or colognes, and be your best self!
- Be punctual. It’s very important that you arrive on time (as indicated on your confirmation email) to go through check-in procedures. If you arrive late, you might not be allowed to interview. For those coming for an interview on May 1st, please review the BMO Marathon Road Closure information provided to you in your emails, and leave plenty of time for travel.
- You’ll be meeting with multiple interviewers, so if you stumbled on one response, you’ll have the opportunity to recover with the next interviewer.
- There will be two break stations. The interviews can be intense for some, so take this time to relax and recharge.
- Bring a bottle of water. This will be the only item you can bring with you into the interview, and trust me, you’ll want it. All other personal belongings will be held in the check-out room for you to pick up when you leave.
We are looking forward to meeting everyone who is coming in for an interview. If you can no longer attend the interview, please email me at undergrad.pharm@ubc.ca to let me know as soon as possible.
See you in a few weeks!
Carol Kuang, Recruitment and Admissions Officer
