<p>so i have an interview coming up and i was wondering how i should answer these questions. i have a general idea but more insight would definitely help. feel free to answer any.</p>
<p>why should i pick you over the girl that i interviewed before you, or the applicant i'm interviewing after you? What will you give back to the program that they can't?"</p>
<p>what will your peers find surprising about you that they dont already know</p>
<p>'why not another medical profession like a nurse'</p>
<p>whats the most difficult adversity you ever faced?</p>
<p>1) Talk about something that is unique to yourself. Like an out-there interest that is rare. Basically, the interviewer needs to choose out of all the people with stellar stats, so anything you count as a highly unique achievement (and no, NHS doesn't count) can be played on as something you would like to give back to the college.</p>
<p>2) Same thing, something that you either talked about in your essays (if they were open-ended) or didn't get a chance to talk about in your essays (if they were specific topics). Something like playing a unique instrument (I'd guess piano/violin are pretty standard, sorry all pianists and violinists out there), or playing a unique varsity sport (I know a LOT of people play tennis who are academically gifted, so that may not be unique), and even sports you don't play varsity for, but just have a general interest in (like backyard/flag/touch football or ultimate frisbee or something)</p>
<p>3) My answer is that I've learned about a lot of the other medical professions, and they all have conditions placed on them, so that even if I (as a medical provider) want to provide the best care, I can't because of a restriction on my power. A doctor doesn't have those restrictions, so it's the best option.</p>
<p>4) This one is really something you have answer uniquely. Just make sure you state how overcoming the adversity made you a better person/made you learn something/how it just generally improved you as a whole, etc.</p>
<p>EDIT: As a whole, you have to answer these questions by what you think. We can only give you a general idea, the insight and details must come from within yourself.</p>
<p>when u say something that can be given back to the college.. u mean like something u have/have done that u can give like money back?</p>
<p>I think they mean in terms of pride, not financial donations.</p>
<p>oo i c</p>
<p>what would u respond? any type of interest u have?</p>
