6 things to know before your medical school interview day:
1. Know your application inside and out. If you put something on your application, you better be able to answer questions about it in your interview. Know why each thing on your application is meaningful and be able to talk about it. Don't just add filler and then get called out when you can't talk about it.
2. Understand the logistics of the med school interview. Many medical schools host socials the night before the interview day. Go to those! It will help you understand the culture of the school, and it will help more people at the school get to know you.
If you're offered to stay on campus, I'd generally recommend that. It'll help you get a better sense of the school. That said, if you know yourself and you know you need your space, you can stay at a hotel.
Also, know where you need to get dropped off on campus in the morning. Know where you'll need to be when, so you're not stressing about THAT on the day of the interview.
3. Plan out what you're going to wear on your interview day. Watch our video about what to wear for more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YA2c52XB0k. It's recommended to bring your suit with you on the plane, just in case your luggage gets lost or something.
4. Understand that the med school interview is not a sales pitch. They just want to get to know you. Don't try to sell yourself. Have a coffee shop conversation. Don't go in with an agenda or trying to prove something. We have a whole video discussing this, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln1Egc8JCa8.
5. Know the medical school inside and out. Know why you want to go to THAT school. A lot of students are not doing this, and it's hurting their chances. Admissions committees want to make sure that you're going to that school for the right reasons. Understand the school's mission, programs, clubs, and culture. Then understand why each of these things are meaningful to you and why it resonates with you specifically.
6. Know that your interview day should be fun. The best interviews often come when you're having a good time, having conversations, smiling, and being friendly. It CAN be a fun experience!
