Why do you want to be a doctor? They also focused on all of the weakness on the application like poor grades or scores and requested to justify that. If you can turn anything negative into positive learning experience they really loved to hear that. Why all the volunteer experiences were important to you? How will you prepare for the boards? How will you handle an emergency situation? How do you work under pressure and stress? You had some time off from undergrad to med school, how do you feel about the challenges that will come the first year in adapting to the stress level?

You are taking anatomy course with me. You work so hard, invest so many hours for preparation. You walk into the exam room and after the test feel that you have done extremely well at the level of A+++. WHen you receive your test you notice you have missed so many q's and have gotten a C+. What would you do? How would you react?
