dialloa (Alumni) Most Caribbean schools including MUA do conduct interviews for at least some applicants. The format and weight given to the interview varies but you should prepare for it as a real evaluation.
ljoseph (Alumni) Different experience than dialloa though. The interview is often used to assess communication skills, professionalism, and motivation. Be ready to talk clearly about why medicine and why this particular path.
ivanc (Alumni) Prepare answers for why you chose Caribbean rather than applying further to US schools. Schools know the question is coming from applicants and how you answer it says something about your self-awareness.
nbautista (Student) Don't treat it as a casual conversation. Dress professionally, know the school's curriculum before you go in, and have genuine questions ready. Interviewers notice when applicants have done their homework.
amyn (Alumni) Building on what dialloa mentioned. The interview can also be your opportunity to evaluate the school. Ask thoughtful questions about student outcomes and support resources. How they answer tells you something.
andre.estrada (Student) Adding to nbautista's point. I went in nervous but well-prepared and it made a difference. The interviewer asked about my academic history, clinical exposure, and what specifically drew me to MUA. Standard stuff but you need real answers ready.
