Advice & Insight From Interview Specialists
Every year, around 450 prospective medical students are selected to attend for interview at Warwick Medical School. This represents a great achievement plus, with nearly 200 of these individuals being made an offer post-interview, a Warwick interview represents many candidates’ best opportunity for gaining a place on a graduate Medicine course.
Interviews at Warwick are conducted in the MMI format. Prospective medical students tend to have a love-hate relationship with the MMI process. Many feel they are unable to fully sell themselves when they are assessed by so many different selectors in such short periods of time. However, some prefer this aspect of the MMI as it allows applicants to move onto each station with a fresh start if the previous station has gone poorly. It is important to bear this in mind during the interview, as it is crucial to develop rapport with the selectors each time you enter a new station. Each set of selectors has no idea how you have performed in the other stations. As there can be several selectors at each station, candidates are often assessed by more than six staff members at Warwick interviews. These staff have a range of backgrounds, from healthcare professionals to actors to academics, and will be able to give a more thorough assessment than a smaller panel interview. Once the interviews are complete, scores for each station are combined and the applicants with the highest score will receive offers.

On arriving and registering on your interview date you will wait in a holding area before being taken to the interview area. Candidates work through six stations for around two hours. There will be time to read instructions for each station before entering each room, giving candidates an opportunity to briefly relax and prepare for the next station. These stations can test various skills, although Warwick suggests these topics are a good starting place for preparation:
• Team working
• Insight
• Resilience
• Communication
• Empathy
• Probity
• Respect and dignity
