combined med program interviews?

<p>These interviews are obviously more intense than the interviews if you are only applying for undergrad, but what kind of questions do they ask you? Like other interviewers, they probably want to hear about academic and extra-curricular interests, but do they also ask about current events and other things?</p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

<p>If you are selected to interview for a BS/MD program, remember that you are interviewing at a medical school, and should treat it like a medical school interview. They are going to obviously ask you to tell you about yourself and explain what it is that makes their program interesting to you. And then the infamous: Why do you want to be a doctor? </p>

<p>When you tell them about yourself, you should be sure to tell them about how those extracurriculars tie in with your desire to become a physician. It is extremely important that you get that message across, and then some. They may ask you about healthcare-related current events, your opinions on the healthcare bill, and they may even present you with ethical questions with fictional patient scenarios. </p>

<p>As long as you can clearly articulate what you need to say, then you shouldn’t have any problems.</p>

<p>I haven’t done any of these interview, but based on what I’ve heard, to answer the question “Why do you want to become a doctor?”, answer with more than just “I want to help people.” It’s good to have a couple reasons (ex. I love science, etc.) and illustrate with examples from either your experiences or extracurriculars. Because this is basically a med school interview, this is a good resource containing many questions they may ask: [Student</a> Doctor Network - School Feedback](<a href=“http://www.studentdoctor.net/schools/]Student”>http://www.studentdoctor.net/schools/)</p>

<p>-No, they understand the difference between 17 years old HS’er and the one with UG degree or close to it. However, in both cases, interviews are relaxed and mostrly conversational, no tricky/hard questions. Just be yourself, do not pretend that you are somebody else, never ever lie about anything.
D. had several bs/md interviews, some lasting most of the day with lunch included and she also had several Med. School interviews, since she is applying out of her very flexible combined program that allow you to do so. She has been accepted to several Med. Schools, one of them is part of her program.</p>

<p>While they know the difference between a HS/er and one who has completed Undergraduate, be professional. Conversational does not mean you can relax. Remember they are also looking to see if you are mature enough.</p>

<p>How many of you have had your interviews?</p>

<p>Atleast the phase 1, the undergraduate school interviews?</p>

<p>And the med. school ones are in Feb. right?</p>
