MMI preparation guides

Answers to questions applicants ask about MMIs: what Ottawa, Queen's and TMU require, how to practise, how to shape and check an answer, and what to do before and after the assessment. Pages on requirements and scoring link to official sources, and your own invitation sets the timings and rules.

What each assessment involves

Which assessments Ottawa, Queen's and TMU require, what is and isn't published about rating and results, how Casper practice carries over, and what changes when no interviewer can ask follow-ups.

Plan your practice

Run a useful session alone or with a partner, choose a plan that fits a busy week, and prepare for ethics and current-affairs prompts without relying on a topic list.

Shape and check your answers

Know when an answer is complete, organize it without a script, check that it does what the prompt asks, and use personal examples honestly.

Before, during and after the MMI

Check your setup and your invitation, find official help for a recording or submission problem, and choose a useful next step after the assessment.

    McMaster University Medical School: 2027 Admissions & MMI Guide

    For fall 2027, McMaster's MD program requires at least 15 full undergraduate courses or 30 half courses, a minimum 3.0 GPA, an MCAT CARS score of at least 123, Casper, an Autobiographical Sketch with verifiers, and three Confidential Assessment Forms. McMaster expects to invite approximately 570 applicants to an MMI in March or April 2027 for a class of 217. McMaster has confirmed the MMI, but its current guide does not publish the 2027 station count, station length, interview modality, or complete scoring formula. Use your invitation and the official admissions guide as the final authority for those details.

    University of Toronto Medical School Admissions Guide (2027)

    For Fall 2027 entry, the University of Toronto MD program has a target class size of 289 and requires applicants to meet its academic thresholds, submit two brief personal essays, an OMSAS autobiographical sketch plus statement, and three references. The current guide places interviews between February and April, but U of T has not yet published the 2027 interview dates or confirmed whether this cycle will use an in-person MPI, a virtual MPI, or both. Use this page to separate current requirements from those still-open interview details.

    Western University Dentistry Admissions Guide (2027)

    Western's four-year DDS program currently requires at least three years of undergraduate coursework, a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA, specified prerequisites, an eligible DAT, Casper, the Western autobiographical sketch and an interview for selected applicants. Western publishes a virtual, structured panel format, but its dates page still names February 2026 interviews and has not yet posted the exact Fall 2027 interview dates. This guide preserves the confirmed requirements and makes the cycle-specific gap explicit.
