The Medical School Interview Is The Step That Can Get You In The Door


 

As part of the admissions process to most medical schools an interview is required.   This medical school interview is perhaps the most important part of being accepted as a first year medical student.   To be granted an interview is a very good indication that the admissions committee likes what they have seen in your application.   To get this far in the admissions process is a real accomplishment.   The next step is to make a favorable and lasting impression with the interview.   This could be the ticket to you being accepted.   Many people do not make it this far in the admissions process.   You need to take advantage of your interview to "sell" yourself.

 

The first step is to prepare yourself for the medical school interview before you ever walk in front of the committee.   That means you must do your homework.   Become as familiar with the medical school as possible.   Make sure to review all the guidelines for admissions and the specific program you are interested in enrolling.   Become familiar with the curriculum and the basic outline of your course of study over the years.   Make sure to design four or five good questions for the committee. Most likely they are going to ask you if you have questions. You should be prepared.

 

Practice answering some basic questions that the committee is most likely to ask you.   Practice them aloud in front of someone.   Use good poise and good eye contact when answering questions.   You will need to practice your techniques.   Some of the basic questions that you will most likely be asked include:   Why do you want to be a doctor?, What are your strengths and weaknesses?, What is your vision for the medical profession?, What are the primary issues facing the health care industry?   You will find many lists of potential questions for a medical school interview posted on web sites.   Become familiar with these questions and formulate some answers so that you will be prepared.

 

Do all the right things for your medical school interview when it approaches.   Make sure that you get plenty of rest.   Dress the part and come in feeling confident and looking for answers.   It is your opportunity to evaluate them the same way they are evaluating you.   Make sure to be on time.   Be warm and friendly with a smile and make sure to have a sense of humor.   Show them that you are a human being.   Be prepared to provide them with a profile of who you really are and why you are a good potential candidate as a medical student.

I was a nervous wreck going into my interview, but knowing that just having the interview meant that my application was accepted and I'd ran over a hurdle. I always thought before that the application was just a formality and the interview was the thing to worry about but realistically if your application doesn't pass muster you won't even make it to the interview! Your essay is also very important so put A LOT of thought into it. Go online and ask around about what other people did and their experiences with the application process, trust me it helps
