Our session is every interview day (Fridays from now until January) from 10:30 – 12 PM, there are 3 different sessions for 15 minutes each.

Class of 2026 - M2M Midterm Review |
The MS4 Content tutors are hosting a M2M Midterm review on August 17th from 7-9 via zoom. We KNOW you already got this in the bag, but we wanted to give you some extra resources for review. Our tutors have been working SO hard to cover high yield topics on the exam. (Disclaimer-we do not know what is on the test nor have we spoken to Dr. Hanson about the contents of the exam) We will send out a zoom invite the day of the review, and we hope to see your beautiful faces at the review! Sincerely, MS4 Content Tutors |
Class of 2023 - Mock Interview Nights |
This is a great opportunity to practice virtual interviews and receive feedback! Interviews will be held virtually to mimic this application cycle. The two interview dates will be Wednesday, September 14th and Tuesday, October 4th from 5:30 - 8:30 PM. Each interview will last 30 minutes, with feedback included in that time. Our goal is for each student to have 3 interviews, but you may only have 2 depending on faculty availability. One interview will be with a faculty member of your chosen specialty. Students in the past have found Mock Interview Night to be extremely beneficial, and it's a great way to relieve some stress before the real thing. Please sign up for 1 date on the Google Sheet link provided below. The deadline to sign up for an interview night is August 31st. Final interview pairings will be sent out the week before September 14th. If you have a CV prepared, we recommend sending them directly to your interviewers prior to your interview night. |
