So, I applied to med school while finishing my Master of Occupational Therapy (obviously a professional/vocational degree). I explained quite clearly in my PS why I was switching, and got interviews at 5/6 schools I applied to. During those 5 interviews, although I got gently asked about the switching (to which I had a very good response, which was received quite well), I never once got a "hostile" interviewer who asked me questions like that. I was only rejected from 1 of the 5 schools. Perhaps I was just lucky, or had an MCAT to compensate for the switching, or I seemed properly in love with going into medicine, but... I just didn't have that experience at all. I didn't know I should be glad about that
