We have not added Hull York’s own description of what its interview assesses yet. MMI interviews generally test motivation for medicine, communication, ethical reasoning, teamwork and what you learnt from work experience; the questions below cover each.
Read with the application
Not scored, but read for borderline decisions at both the interview and offer stage, and likely to feed the interview questions; claims may be checked.
It does not count at the interview. Band 4 is not accepted. The band is worth 15 of the 100 selection points, against 35 for GCSEs and 35 for the UCAT decile. It no longer counts as an extra interview station.
