Application Tips with Apply Point: One on One Interviews

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Medical school interviews are still a few months away but preparing early is a natural way to ease your anxieties once the big day rolls around. Peak interview time runs from early September to mid-January.

The school might have you do two or three one-on-one interviews with a faculty member, current student, and/or practicing physician. Your interviewer might have your application open, semi-open (just one section), or closed.

Tip #3: Be Brief, but Detailed

Keep your answers to most questions between one-and-a-half and three minutes. Practice responses to our sample questions aloud. You don't have to memorize your answers. Just acclimate yourself to the topics and time limit.

We like using flashcards to prepare for interviews. Put the question on one side, and bullet points of what you want to say on the other.
