This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Practice speaking about the typical why medical school questions, why DO, etc and possibly do a mock interview with someone if it’ll help calm your nerves just a little bit.

Good luck!
 
You got this. My one piece of advice that I implemented myself for my one and only interview was reading every single interview question that students had posted on my school's "interview feedback" page on SDN and I prepared an answer for every single question that has ever been asked and posted on that thread. This doesn't mean go and refine hundreds of answers from start to finish, but giving yourself a general idea of what you would talk about in case they decide to recycle these old questions. It was also fun to read some weird, out-of-the-box questions and see how fast I could come up with a unique answer, it made my mind agile.

I did this only because I had already prepared entirely for my interview, so instead of answering "why DO?" for the millionth time I decided to read those questions instead for a fun and useful exercise. Sure enough I was asked a few very specific questions that were knee deep in that thread so it paid off when I was ready for them.
 

Find your school here on this list, click on the name, then there's a header that says "Interview Feedback" right beneath the ranking circles. Click on that and scroll a bit down the page until you see an outlined box that says "View All Questions and Responses", click on that and if you scroll a bit you'll find where the student responses are.
