Dalhousie University

Nova Scotia · Medicine · Checked 16 Sep 2026

Some details not published by the school. What is missing is named below rather than guessed at.

The format

Style
MMI
Structure
A 10-station MMI circuit. Approximately 300 to 400 applicants are interviewed each year, with invitations distributed early to mid November. Interview selection uses a pre-interview score weighted 50 percent GPA, 25 percent MCAT and 25 percent CASPer.
Delivery
Not stated on the page cited below.

What this school does not publish

  • Station timing

Anyone quoting a specific number for these is not reading it from the school. Prepare across a range rather than committing to one.

Three mistakes that cost people here

  • Missing how early Dalhousie invites. Early to mid November is ahead of most of the country, so preparation has to start before other invites land.
  • Underrating CASPer here. It is a quarter of the pre-interview score, which is unusually heavy.
  • Assuming a station length. Dalhousie publishes the count, ten, but not the timing, so rehearse at more than one pace.

One practice station in this style

A parent tells you they have decided not to give their child a routine vaccine, and asks what you would do in their position. How do you respond?

Original station, written for this program. Not a real question from any school.
