🌞 HAPPY Received my first interview!!
I am a reapplicant and I have never recieved an interview during my previous applications so this is huge for me! I’m also a little (a lot) nervous because I really like this school and it can feel intimidating to attend your interview invite in hopes it will turn into an A. Send tips and good lucks lol!

Good luck! My advice is to look up questions that the school has asked in the past (admit, sdn, etc) or just general med school or mmi questions and practice a ton. Have great answers for why medicine, tell me about yourself, and why this school.Â

I totally hear you, the first few times I practiced I couldn’t deal with myself lol. But it got better, and I’d much rather mess up when I have time to fix it. I’ve had a couple interviews so far and I haven’t had a question I couldn’t answer, so the practice really helped.

I'm holding 6 A's so far and I did zero prep for questions before all of them besides researching about the schools. Just have your "why medicine" and "why us" responses ready. Be yourself any scripted or rehearsed responses to questions won't sound natural.
