Monash / Interview
The Monash interview
Interview by invitation, and it carries significant weight in the decision. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
Interview by invitation
MMI (Multiple Mini Interview) for Medicine direct-entry only, ~8 stations x 8 min each, conducted via Zoom in November-January; no interviews for standard undergraduate courses
How to prepare for Monash
- Interviews are reserved for the Doctor of Medicine direct-entry program; if applying to any other undergraduate course at Monash, there is no interview and your ATAR (or equivalent) plus English proficiency determine the offer.
- For Medicine applicants, the UCAT ANZ score is the gate to an interview invitation , a very high score (around the 94th percentile) is typically required before you are considered for an MMI slot.
- MMI stations at Monash frequently present ethical scenarios and Australian healthcare policy topics; practise structured reasoning out loud rather than memorising scripted answers.
- Show genuine understanding of the Australian health system and Monash's research-intensive culture in your MMI responses , generic 'I want to help people' answers are a common pitfall.
Practice before the real thing
Rehearse real admissions-interview questions and get an honest read on your answers, what an interviewer hears, where you sound generic, and what to sharpen. We coach you; we never script you.
