Top Amazon Ranked Traditional Medical School Interview Guide
The Medical School Interview by Dr. Jessica Freedman
Based on her experience as an admissions officer and as a private advisor, Dr. Freedman provides guidance on what to expect on interview day, how to influence what is discussed during your interview and what you can do to ensure a stellar interview performance. She also writes about what goes on “behind the scenes” after your interview and provides a transcript for a sample interview.
The Medical School Interview includes:
- What you must do to prepare
- What the interviewer is trying to assess
- How to influence the course of your interview
- The different types of interviewers and how this impacts your experience
- How you are evaluated
- What happens at the admission committee meeting after you leave
- A sample interview with questions and answers
