Medical School Interview Tips - Best Tips For Medical School Student

I know that it would be hard to believe, but there was once a time that minor surgery was performed by barbers! Then the time came that if you wanted to be a doctor, all you needed was enough money or you needed to know someone that was willing to take you as an apprentice.

Well, clearly times have changed. For most medical schools in the English speaking world, first you must demonstrate good grades (GPA) and then you must perform well on a standardized exam (MCAT in the US and Canada; UKCAT, GAMSAT, BMAT in the UK; HPAT and GAMSAT in Ireland; UMAT and GAMSAT in Australia). Some schools require a CV, personal statement or written autobiographical materials. However, the great majority will require the following universally proven requirement that actually correlates to your success as a future physician: the medical school interview.

Some students believe that the interview is simply a time to "Just be myself." Though it is true that honesty is the best policy, it does not mean that you should try to fly a plane without having done some research and practice. Medical school interview questions are available online and there are YouTube videos with clips from interviews and others that have medical school interview tips and advice. As Alexander Graham Bell once said: "Before anything else, preparation is the key to success."

Take your time: confirm that this is the right career choice for you, improve your grades at school, study hard for your standardized test and certainly, prepare carefully for your medical school interview. If medicine is the right career choice for you, then we wish you the best of luck for admissions!
