Re: Ask AZK about being Pre-med/Getting into Medical School
Go to SDN and read what people say about their experiences interviewing at school x. The more competitive the school the more [censored] you will have to know for the interview. What are your thoughts on ESC research? Cloning? Terminal care? Healthcare reforms? Etc. If a school has a particular philosophy for something, make sure you know it as well as any positives/negatives to their belief system (cough georgetown cough)
Everything above is for really competitive schools.
Most schools just ask you to talk about your self, your application, your lifestyle, what you do for fun, who you are as a person, why med., which field, where do you see yourself in 10 years etc...these are easy to [censored], but be honest in your [censored], they aren't looking for a right answer, just that you can communicate and speak and not spit up on yourself. Certain schools have closed/opened interviews, there is a big difference between these two, know which interviews are open/closed at a given school, know how many interviews they have, and by who, do this so that you will be cool, calm and collected on interview day.
Cliffnotes: Look sharp. Be confident. Don't be a jerkoff. If you do these 3 things 95% of your interviews will go smoothly.
