Interview details
Confirmed
Sessions generally include 14 to 20 applicants over about three hours, an individual faculty meeting, and student Q&A. Official FAQ
Not published
Modality, exact campus, prompts, file access, rubric, and weighting are not published. The FAQ recommends MMI practice but does not confirm that Wingate uses an MMI.
Who this program may suit
This program may suit applicants who value a two-campus choice and can document direct patient care. Choose one campus in CASPA and verify current dates against the official page because the FAQ contains typographical errors. Official admissions guide
Practice and next step
Record one response to the featured scenario and review whether your answer is direct, balanced, and easy to follow. Make one adjustment and answer it again. Compare both attempts, then practise the teamwork item in Structured Interview Essentials without assuming an MMI format.

Structured Interview Essentials
