So, my exam is next Friday (3/31), i just got an offer for an interview from ScribAmerica, on the same week (3 says before the exam to be exact! _ 3/28) .. Should i take it or re-schedule?

Note that the Interview is in the morning, so i can def attend it. Was just wondering what everyone else thought in term of (stress or anything, etc..)

Eat a cliff bar, look good, subtle cologne/perfume, act somewhat confident
 
So, you think i should take the interview.. like it wont affect my performance (on the 31)?
One shouldn't affect the other at all. Your exam is the only thing that matters, not some bs scribing job. You can't let these things get to u or you're gonna have a difficult future
 
Go to the interview. I work for SA (I'm a chief scribe, so I do a lot of interviewing). I know not every CS is the same, but the interviews don't take long and as long as you aren't a weirdo then you'll be fine. Good Luck 🙂
 
It's 3 days before the exam. If you can't handle balancing a scribe interview and an exam 3 days later, medical school might not be for you.

Savage but true.

Also, you shouldn't be doing much hard studying 3 days before the exam - maybe reviewing your last practice, brushing up on some weak or high yield content, doing a few practice passages and focusing on not getting burnt out.
 
An exam that's 3 days away? Anyways, if you're nervous you need to know what are some question expected during the interview and prepare to come with some complex, but simple answers. Look on GlassDoor(my bestie) for interview questions specifically for ScribeAmerica.

Make sure you eat before the interview, give a strong handshake, give eye contact but not to the point you are staring into the interviewers soul, smash the interview, thank them for their time, go home and prepare for your exam.
 
I am sorry if you guys couldnt understand the question: I specified that i COULD ATTEND THE INTERVIEW, but was asking if anyone would ADVISE AGAINST IT.. It's called being prudent , and asking advice FROM THOSE WHO have done it before you.


@Mednight thanks for the input, but i am far from nervous, just wanted to make sure. I wouldnt affect me down the line.

@lpp06 @studentdocftw .. I'll repost MY OP again, look at the bolded text. Tbh, i feel Insulted but i guess, this is expected when trying to making an INFORMED DECISION

Yup, i want the job so bad, so rescheduling was out of question. Just wanted to make an informed decision.

Thanks still...

I understood the question the first time and so my initial statement stands. Go to the interview. If you can't attend the interview and do well on an exam 3 DAYS LATER, medical school will tear you to pieces.

Sir or madam, I directly addressed that your preparation for the exam in the 3 days prior to the exam should be low stress. So to lash out at someone that's speaking directly to what you asked about is a bit misguided.

Splitting hairs, but you asked if you should take the interview OR re-schedule, so you are really asking for affirming and dissenting opinions.
