Myth: You must ask a question at the end of your med school interview.
What a joke. Don't be a kissass. Don't put on a front. Don't try to fake your interest. If you have an actual good question about the school, you will more than likely find it on the website for the school. If you don't, then don't force yourself to come up with a question. I swear I heard this so many times as advice for interview.
I went through 4 interviews and never asked ONE question. When they said "do you have any questions for me?" I said simply, no I have no questions. Accepted to 3 of those MD schools, waitlisted at the last one. Which, when I emailed them and asked for a critique, they named my interview as one of the STRONG points of my application. (The weak ones, if you care, were "leadership ability and volunteer service").
So don't be disingenuous, don't be a kissass. Let's get this myth out of everyone's head.
