Old post I know but I had a different approach with my childhood friend. Almost every gym allows 1 guest into the gym without a membership. Instead of refusing allowance in the gym or just giving her the code I agree to workout with her so we can both get in shape. I keep the integrity of keypad number while helping my friend get in shape into the gym as well. Isn't this an option? There were no specifications in where I signed something not allowing guest to workout with me. Couldn't this be a valid answer as well?

This video made me nervous. She doesn’t seem confident at all, looks like she’s going to cry. Bad example.

She was making me nervous

She sound like Natalie from David dobrik

She answered strong. She might've been a bit repetitive, but that was not the point that stood out. What really stood out was the fact that she knew what she was talking about and shared it with the interviewer. Her motive was to get into the medical area and she definitely spoke clearly to the interviewer about how she was fit perfectly for the job.

why didn't she at first say that she should see if there's a compromise, see if you're allowed to bring a guest with you. If so, offer that to the friend that way you're not violating the agreement on your lease and you're helping her out in the way that she wants.

This is horse shit. Could have been way more concise with her answers instead of padding for time.

If you can afford an apartment with a state of the art gym you gotta have money, so just pay for a cheap gym membership for your best friend

I would go work out with her lol compromise

haha this is crazy. Literally I'd answer this in 14 seconds: "I'd go to the gym with her"

Stfu

I'm confused why this is a good answer. It sounds like she's rambling.

Your answer should be 45 seconds to 90 seconds recommend from my fellow KZbinr buddy Kharma Medic

This is stupid and way too long. What the hell? I would not give the freaking keypad because it compromises the security of our building; if she wants to go to the gym, we can go together whenever I am around, we go together with her as my guest, or we can go hiking together. If she really wants to end our friendship over this, then she is not a good friend to begin with. I am sorry, but I am not gonna get in trouble or break the law for anyone. This is my code and I live by it. Unless it's to save someone's life, and this is clearly not the case here!

This is an example of inexperience. It is ok to be empathetic but with experience you develop assertiveness. I would have said, " I can't give you the code because the lease says that the gym is only for tenants and we can't give the code to anyone else". If the friend is a narcissist who abuses and crosses boundaries and says, " oh you're mean not giving me the code", then right at that point you get this person out of your life because they are toxic. If the person is understanding and says, " oh that's ok I understand" and they are genuine, then you can explore other options with her. Example, running around the block, doing sit ups push ups, buying a skipping rope, lifting things light in weight. There are heaps of ways to work out. That's what I would say.

You absolutely do not have to keep talking for 8 whole minutes. The goal of MMI is to see how an applicant answers a question or solve a dilemma logically and in the most concise way possible, just like a doctor should do for his or her patients. Answering the question really only takes less than 3 minutes max, in which case a follow-up question is given to test you further. Recap may help in some way, but you don't have to recap multiple times like in the video. If they run out of questions, then you just have to get used to the awkward silence after that. They do not penalize you for not dragging your answer for 8 minutes.

What this is about is taking on the information, and then understanding how to communicate your answers, it’s not dissimilar to doing ward rounds, reading information on patients and then remembering that and acting accordingly.

Are you serious?!?!

e

I feel nervous watching this. Maybe its her nervous voice xD

Give your friend the code. Next question.

This is total crap. The sad truth, though, is that in many places that's what they want from you. So many universities and colleges have really shabby programs with many crappy professors and they don't want smart students with strong personalities and charisma come into their little comfortable nests of protected employment and spoil it all for everyone, so they take in minions who will suck dick to get in and suck more dick to stay in. It's blind leading the blind and then one day these twerps who would've been weeded out by the real interview process at any proper university actually get to become doctors and treat you as your MDs. It's abominable and one of the worst cases of internal protection of incompetent people who somehow have the authority to pick these brainless yes-men just so they can maintain their status. This is why checking that diploma on the wall in your MD's office is CRUCIAL. 80% of these 'doctors' aren't qualified to look at my dog, much less me, my spouse, or my children.

I would have responded in 3minutes basically saying the same thing she said but in a more compact way, she kept repeating herself

I would let her work out once and enter the code for her

for those complaining about her lengthy answer, this university requires you to talk for 8 minutes (yes there is time for questioning), but they suggest trying to get close to 5-6 minutes of talking. Also they always recommend you do not just say "yes" or "no" as someone suggested; they are trying to see if you understand the difference between making a snap decision and voicing your thought process. They do not care as much about the answer you finally make, the respond based on your considerations of your ethics, responsibilities, and personal values.

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know i have a whole series of videos on getting into physio on my channel. I'd love to help future students as I am a current 3rd year Physio student, so if you're reading this and interested, get @ me!! :)

I would finish response within 2 minutes and I can't drag my answer that long this is too difficult.

This prompt is kinda banal. Is this an apartment complex in some bougie area? Has the writer of this prompt ever actually leased in apartments? This is not a serious ethical issue that requires a 5 to 8 minute response. It's not even a fun food for thought exercise to look for creative answers. Enforcement of these policies definitely vary between different complexes and the quality of the gym facility(ies) they have to offer. Even then, many (or, every single apartment complex I have ever lived in) do allow for non-residents to be present as guests of residents. For the most part as well, if you follow good gym etiquette, they do not give a crap. In my and many other people's experiences, egregious freeloading has never been such an issue so as to cause overcrowding (and I have lived near big universities with thousands of enrolled students). This actually happens way more at commercial gyms (24, LA Fit) in urban areas than the local apartment fitness facility. Also, to make the LEAP that making this super minor contract violation that many leasing offices would straight up overlook (or give you a forced "slap on the wrist" for) is the same as illegally prescribing medication is ridiculous. Apples to oranges. A slippery slope argument on a dry, flat plateau. Would you equate an ardent fear and hatred of spiders the same as animal cruelty (cuz like "do no harm!"). Would you equate refusing to give money to a homeless person one time the same as refusing care to someone that might truly need it but can't afford it (*cough* doctorsrefusingmedicaid*cough*)? I sure hope no one is using this dumb prompt anymore since it's now being disclosed to the public.

First 2 minutes was the perfect answer.... but it only went downhill after that.

She was rambling on for too long. I lost interest after the first minute. Lesson here is to keep your answer structured & concise.

I would ask the tenants if it would be possible to give my best friend the access code Seems like it would be a much better solution than offering to pay for half of her gym memberships... or offering my time for childcare Jeez

Why does it take 8 minutes to answer this question? Regardless of the friend being a single mother, the rules are that the code for the gym is for yourself and other tenants only and so that non-tenants cannot access it. First action would be ask the landlord or whoever is in authority if one close friend of mine can use the gym. I would expect the landlord to say either “yes she can if you are also there but you cannot give the code” or “no, the gym is for tenants only”. I would then follow the rules stated. I believe the “single mother” information is a distraction to make you think complex rather than a simple and direct answer.

TELL HER THE GYM'S CLOSED

why is she undertaking the financial burden for her friend? nobody needs a gym to get fit

such a simple answer took years of my life 😩

That was painful to watch

I think I would have personally said that if my best friend was serious about loosing weight, we could coordinate a day out of the week together and go to the gym together... that way she still can use the facility if she was short of money etc.. and also wouldn't know the code.... or something like that I think would be more realistic than what she had said about paying for her bff''s gym membership? I don't think many people could afford to do that...

Good

seems fake.....I would offer to work out with the friend at the facility.

Bruhhh just give that fatass the dam code, its saving her from cardiovascular disease smh

Is this a law school interview? I thought only lawyers were this good at talking out of their asses. Apparently this is the standard for medicine too.

I agree with everyone outraged by this system. This isn't a test of integrity and ethics, it's about compiling some bullshit answer that's good enough for whoever's asking the questions even if it means lying to their face. Why does she make it sound like her friend will DIE if she doesn't go to HER gym?? You seriously can't just recommend going jogging (which, by the way, is FREE) ? Or biking? Or yoga? But noooooo, you'll just take 10 minutes going on about how you'd take a bullet for this "friend" (who's gonna leave you if she can't go to your gym) and your plan for this "single mothers discount." What's next? Write a letter to your senator to pass the "Affordable Gym Act" ?

why is looking at the paper ... she had time to read stuff whatttt

just say I'll bring my friend together without giving the code. so fake and no integrity. please you are not helping anyone.

You would lose your childhood friend if you didn't give her the code? That's NO FRIEND! ha

omg, this is absolute bullshit. She is going on and on trying to make a 30 second answer a 10 minute response.

8 minutes... Really? She said most of it in the first 4 mins. The rest is mainly repetition. I really don't see why these sort of interviews should be longer than 5mins.

Did anybody felt like they' we're watching the office without humor lol

FUCK THIS PROCESS AND FUCK CANADIAN MED
