On the day
Fully automated asynchronous video interview via SAMMI Select; questions are pre-recorded and answers recorded for later assessment, completed in one sitting inside an 8-day window. The interview page says it takes about 1.5 hours, while the school's FAQ and webinar put the interview itself at about an hour. Rounds are scheduled in January, March and June.
No live interviewer - you answer pre-recorded questions to a webcam and nobody can prompt or clarify.
Must be done in one sitting on a laptop or PC (no phones, no Safari) with no notes, prompts or other people in the room.
You do a technical check and a practice question first; once you start the real interview you cannot pause or stop.
You sign a confidentiality agreement before getting your candidate number.
No notes allowed.
One minute rest break between stations.
Offers are dependent on success at interview; the school does not publish how interview scores are ranked or combined with UCAT and academics. MMI performance also counts towards the 10 scholarships for international students.
