Hello,
I have just finished an interview for a medical school. It was a fairly informal interview which consisted of an approximately 30 minute discussion between myself and two admissions respresentatives.
I fear that my answer involving their questions about my lack of interviewing was not adequate and may have accidentally even come off as dishonest/inconsistent. I was a collegiate athlete for 2 years of my undergrad and as part of my involvement on the soccer team, I volunteered as a coach. I failed to mention that this volunteering work was part of my time as a collegiate athlete and so it may not appear on my application that there was any volunteer work done.
I also want to mention that I did not continue volunteering once i switched to premed ( i was comp sci my first two years) because I worked as a scribe instead full time. I have been financially supporting myself throughout most of college and so I had to sacrifice my time i would volunteer to work in the clinical setting instead.
I have the contact info for my interviewers and was going to send them a simple thank you email for the interview, however I am considering that maybe i should let them know about this information. Would this even help my chances at this point? or would I be bothering them during a very busy phase in their selection proccess. please advise!!
Thank you
