Are there any individuals who have been recently interviewed who would be so kind as to discuss their interview? The interview thread has not had anyone post in quite a long time. I have an interview in the near future and wish to know if the questions I will be asked will be similar to questions that have been asked in the past. Thank you in advance to anyone who is kind enough to provide any input.

I recently had an interview. I got the news of being accepted to the Jan 2010 entering class a week after. When speaking of recommendations, I highly suggest that you should have an idea of what you are going to say to certain common questions like:

-Why Saba? (This was actually my first question)
-Why Medicine? (Second question)

Those two questions are the basis, the soul, of your acceptance. Even if they don't ask you these two questions you should bring it up at a certain moment and make sure you have one solid good answer for those two questions. Instead of going with the whole reading of your ''already made answers'' - try to pay close attention to your interviewers and make sure you let them know how bad you want. Another thing that would make a good impression is addressing them as you speak. Ask and learn their names at the beginning of your interview. They actually told me at the end how they liked the fact that I learned their name so I guess some students don't do that much. Like I said, keep it cool and stay calm and you'll do just fine. See ya soon!

Cheers
