Is the UEA MMI similar to St. George's? (As in it's structured, with one question per station etc)

Yes, it's an OSCE-style interview, with one question per station but they can always ask more if they want :smile:
so two questions....

1. do they ask follow-up questions at each station, if you don't fill up 5 minutes with an answer??
2. At these interviews, are all candidates equal with a clean slate, or do they add scores from MMI to a score from personal statement/ukcat/academic results??

I would contact admissions if I were you, maybe the "shut down" registration rather than the dates having actually been filled up? :smile:

I did MMI last year and once you'd answered the question you could sit there in silence until it was time to go, if you wanted you could ask questions which I did but there was no obligation whatsoever
Not sure about your 2nd question east anglia havent given much information away as regards to their process

sounds awful - they have a question to ask, and if you answer it in 2 minutes, you could have to put up with silence for 3 minutes potentially?

In my memory theres only one or 2 that you finish quick and its usually only a minute its fine cos u can just relax and mentally prepare for the next one and the facilitator just does their own thing

1. They carried on questioning me.
2. No idea, sorry! :smile:

did they send you an email saying interview dates are now available for you to choose before giving you the myUEA thing? because they sent me an email saying:I can confirm that you have been successfully shortlisted for an interview. We are currently investigating an option to interview abroad, alongside a couple of interview dates in the UK. We will contact you shortly with a choice of interview dates and locations.


but they didn't give me anything called myUEA? So am I supposed to wait for another email? or did they give me myUEA account before and it's just I forgot?
