If you are invited for a medical school interview, this is a very good indication that the school is seriously considering you as an applicant. Beyond academic excellence, medical schools are generally looking for maturity, passion about medicine, altruism, exposure to the medical field, and strong interpersonal skills.
Below are some resources to assist you with your interview preparation:
For information on medical school interviews, their structure and format, typical questions asked, etc., link to the handout Understanding the Medical School Interview [PDF]. Check also the more extensive resources in the current Med App Ctools site.
Look up the medical school interview feedback on the studentdoctor.net website, as a way to familiarize yourself with the type of questions and interview formats at various schools nationwide. As you peruse these reports, keep in mind that while helpful, these are still individual, somewhat anecdotal experiences and should be evaluated within the context of all the other information that you will gather about a given school.
Discuss your interview preparation with a Career Center staff member and, if you wish, arrange for a videotaped practice interview as the final dress rehearsal in your preparation process. Schedule your appointment online or call 734/764-7460.
