I received notice that I have an interview coming up and while this is really exciting, I'm also super nervous! Just wondering if anyone would like to form a group to get together and do some mock interviews/practice? I think this would be a really good way to get comfortable with the process and we could all give each other pointers. I'm in the Toronto area so let me know if any of you are interested and best of luck to you all!
Glad you guys are all interested! Is everyone able to get to downtown Toronto? We could meet at a library or cafe, etc. whatever is convenient for everyone. And in terms of a day, does Friday work?
Also interested in sitting in and contributing to this, and Toronto works for me as well. Would something after 5 work for anyone? Or a weekend? (I work full-time).

Hey guys, for those of you who got interviews, congrats . I was wondering if you guys know what's best to wear. Of course a nice dark pant suit for ladies is a good idea, can you have coloured Blazers, coloured blouses etc? What about jewellery? I would like to be professional and comfortable but I also think it's important to be yourself, and stand out a little. Thoughts?

as far as dress - I wore a suit, almost everyone did, guys and girls. A blazer with a skirt would also work. Wearing a watch is helpful to keep track of time - BUT DO NOT WEAR ANYTHING YOU WILL PLAY WITH. If you don't normally wear a watch or jewelry, then don't, better you are comfortable. Also don't leave your hair down if you normally have it up and will play with it. Make sure you are comfortable so that you can focus on your answers and not have to worry about whether or not you are showing too much cleavage.
Would anyone happen to know if the MMI's use actors or if they're just question-based?
They are certainly not actors. Current vet students, current DVMs, people on admissions committee or professors at the university. The evaluators are all told to not show any emotion, so we just sit there with straight faces while you talk.
