Multiple Mini-Interview
The ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ School of Pharmacy will hold interviews virtually for Fall 2026 entry.
What is the Multiple Mini-Interview (MMI)?
The MMI process takes the applicant through different timed interview stations. Each station will be focused on non-cognitive qualities such as communication, ethical reasoning, and leadership.
Why do we use the MMI?
Research done on the MMI process has concluded that the MMI minimizes bias by interviewers, and allows evaluation of nonacademic traits that are vital to health professionals.
What to expect during your MMI:
Virtual Interviews
Applicants selected for an interview will complete the interview process virtually through Kira Talent, an online video interview platform, and through Zoom.
The interview process consists of two parts.
Part I will be conducted asynchronously through the Kira platform. Applicants will respond to a series of interview prompts designed to assess competencies relevant to the pharmacy profession. For each prompt, applicants will be provided with 45 seconds of preparation time to read the question and organize their thoughts. Following the preparation period, applicants will have two minutes to record their response.
Once the allotted response time has elapsed, the recording will automatically conclude and the applicant will proceed to the next prompt. This process will continue until all interview prompts have been completed. As part of this portion of the interview, applicants may be asked to complete a combination of video responses, written responses, and scenario-based activities through the Kira platform.
Part II will be conducted live via Zoom, during which applicants will participate in an interview with a member of the Admissions Committee. Following the live interview, applicants will have allocated time with the Office of Student Affairs to review the pharmacy curriculum and address any questions they may have.
How long does the MMI process take?
Part I and Part II will take one and two hours, respectively, including a pre- and post-orientation session, as well as time scheduled for Q&A.
Who are the interviewers?
Applicants will be interviewed by a variety of Faculty, Staff, and local community members (e.g. preceptors, local pharmacists).
How should I prepare for the MMI?
The MMI is not like a traditional interview, however there are several online sources that provide sample questions that have been used in various healthcare fields. For the ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ MMI, it is important to be familiar with pharmacy as a profession and to be able to express yourself in a thoughtful and concise manner. It is also important to be familiar with our vision as a school, and how you can express characteristics and attributes that help meet that vision.
Most importantly, be yourself!
