The first time you say your answer out loud should not be in the interview

Most candidates prepare by thinking about what they would say. Thinking and saying are different skills, and the gap between them shows up under pressure in a way that is entirely avoidable with one rehearsal.

What is being assessed

Whether you are who your application says you are

The committee has your file. The interview is largely a check that the person in front of them matches it, and that you have a realistic understanding of the program and the profession. Answers that contradict your statement, or that show you have not looked at the program, do most of the damage.

Structure is the other half. Behavioral questions asking about a time you did something reward a structured answer: the situation, what you did, and what happened. Candidates who narrate at length without reaching an outcome lose the interviewer partway through, however good the underlying example is.

Then the questions people dread. Weaknesses, failures, gaps in the record. These are asked to see whether you can be honest and reflective, not to catch you. A prepared, specific answer that names something real and what you did about it is far stronger than a strength disguised as a weakness.

  • Answers said out loud before the day, not just thought through
  • Behavioral answers structured so they reach an outcome
  • Consistency with what your application already says
  • The hard questions rehearsed rather than avoided

What a mock interview involves

With someone who has read your application first

  • Your application read before the session, not skimmed
  • Questions in the format your program uses, including MMI where relevant
  • Direct follow-up questions, the way a real panel probes
  • Feedback on how you answered, not only on what you said
  • A written list of likely questions with notes
The line we never cross

We prepare you. You attend

  • We do not attend, join or assist during your actual interview.
  • We do not write scripted answers for you to memorize.
  • We do not contact the program on your behalf.
  • We do not invent experiences for you to describe.
  • We help you find and structure answers from your own material.

Any assistance during a live interview, including a remote one, is misconduct and can cost you the place and the application. Everything we do happens beforehand. Read the full policy.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Nobody can tell you exactly, and the shape is predictable: why this program, why this profession, a behavioral question or two, something about a challenge or a failure, an ethical scenario in clinical fields, and your questions for them. Preparing across those covers most of what gets asked.

With a structure. Set the situation briefly, say what you specifically did, and say what happened as a result. Most weak answers spend too long on context and never reach the outcome, which is the part the question is actually asking about.

Something real, with what you have done about it. A disguised strength is transparent and wastes the question. Naming a genuine limitation and describing the specific steps you took reads as self-aware, which is what is being assessed.

A multiple mini interview: a circuit of short stations, each with a different scenario or task, often used in health professions admissions. It rewards thinking aloud and structured reasoning rather than polished prepared answers, and it is worth practicing in that format specifically.

Yes, two or three, and make them specific to the program rather than answerable from the website. Asking about something you could have looked up suggests you did not. Asking about how a particular clinical placement works suggests you did.

About a week out. Far enough to act on what it surfaces, close enough that it still feels real. Tell us the format and the program and we will run it in that shape.

Send your application and the interview date

We will read it properly, question you the way a panel would, and tell you where the answers were thin while there is still time.
