University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville Interview Questions

​Interview Format

​
UofSC conducts two traditional individual interviews by members of the Admissions Committee. Each lasts for about 30 minutes. One of them is an open-file interview with a focus on the applicant’s academic background, experience, activities, and motives of pursuing medicine. The other interview is blind to the academic records and focuses mainly on evaluating the applicant’s non-cognitive qualities, like:
​
  • Interpersonal and communication skills
  • Professionalism with patients
  • Ability to withstand stress
  • Integrity
  • Maturity
 
Applicants will also rotate through a Multiple Mini-Interview session before ending the day. The session consists of 5 mini-interview stations where four of them will run by a standardized patient, and one will be staffed by a member of the Admissions Committee. These MMI stations aim at assessing how applicants address each provided scenario specifically through their attentive listening skills, professionalism, problem-solving skills, and their general knowledge of health care.
​


Key Dates

Interviews generally take place between September to mid-March.
