Q: You scored a 20 on the MCAT, and your yearly GPAs appear to follow the sin(x) curve when graphed. Why exactly are you applying to Yale Medical School?

A: You let Dubya in as an undergrad, didn't you?

That was awesome.
 
Here's one:

Interviewer: ......?

Applicant: "Oh, I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something- What kind of doctor are you?"

Interviewer: "......."

Applicant: "Yeah, there's this sore I've been having trouble with- and I haven't been able to get an appointment for months- you *know* how the health care system is. Would you check it out for me really fast? It's really distracting."


Every time I view this thread, I think about that Far Side Cartoon from a long time ago- all the dogs at a cocktail party where one dog says, "Hey. I just found out yesterday I've got worms!" And the rest of the party goes silent...
 
baby, you wanna a date?
 
Interviewer: What first got you interested in medicine?

Applicant: I was watching "ER" one night back in high school and I was just like wow man, you know? Doctors are cool, and they're like always helping people and stuff."
 
"Can we make this quick, I got a hooker in the room and she's charging by the hour."

🙁

Because a lot of you could use a good laugh:


ANSWERS NOT TO GIVE TO THE QUESTION "Why *insert name of the school*?":
-"Three words: in-state tuition."

That's the funniest one yet....
 
I: "Do you have any concerns/questions about the school?"

Me: "I'm concerned I won't get in, but that's about it.."

Not my brightest moment ever 😱

Don't feel bad, I know someone who said that, too.

I also said in-state-tuition was a major deciding factor for me. But it must not have mattered, since I was accepted at all my state schools.
 
"Does my health insurance cover this visit?"

Hahahaha :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

At the end of your response, you yell "BAAAAZING!!!!", put your feet up on the desk and ask for a glass of scotch.
 
Q. So why do you want to come to school X?


A. Well, I wanted a school that would give me a lot of research/ clinical exposure .. by the way do you know how good school Y's clinical years are?
 
Q. Why do you want to be a doctor?

A. I believe its God's will for me --> (Avoid religion at all cost)


Q. What makes you unique?

A. I go to church 3 times a week. I pray a lot. I always donate clothes to salvation army. I can't do anything without God in my life. (Again avoid religion at all cost)


Q. Has anyone told you that you would make a good doctor?

A. Actually people tell me I would make a good lawyer.

(I used this one in my very first interview; not sure if it cost me yet but the interviewer was already on my nerves so).
 
I'd like to take the fifth.
 
These pretzels are making me thirsty.
 
Interviewer (Pediatrician): What is the worst thing you ever did?

Applicant: I bought cigarettes for my seven year old niece.

😱

Q: So what made you decide to become a doctor?

A: Um, could you clarify that question please?

Q: Uh... why do you want to be a doctor??

A: I'm sorry, could you repeat the question?

Q: Why medicine?

A: Could I hear that in a sentence please?

Q: Nevermind, it's clear you're an idiot.

A: I-D-I-O-T. Idiot. Do you have any other questions for me?
 
Bring a prepared fetal pig and a scalpel and show off your mad skillz.

"Whoa! My parents sued you for malpractice last year! How weird is that!"

"So, what medical school did you go to? Uh huh, Uh huh. That's lower ranked than this school, right? So... what makes you think you're good enough to be a doctor here, then?"

"I have a bomb strapped to my chest. Just do the right thing, and no one gets hurt."

Look at what just came out of my nose!
 
Bump...I knew this was buried somewhere.

"I don't believe in an age of consent."
 
thanks Rafa for searching. 🙂
 
Does this look infected to you?

Nice shoes...I didn't know they made those for men.

Say...you don't sweat much for a fat chick.

Asking your interviewer when the baby is due...and finding out that she isn't pregnant...
 
-Ever notice how good blood tastes?

-Q: Why do you want to become a doctor?

-A: To laugh at all the people with stuff crammed into their butt.

-Everyone outside is talking about me.

-Mind if I shoot up here?
 
this is for my brother, b/c he did answer an interviewer like this & was sooooo proud of himself:

Interviewer: Can you tell me about a time you faced a difficult situation, what the obstacles were, and how you were able to overcome them.

dadash: goes off on some video game thing where he was surrounded w/ just a little life left & how he killed the thingies & made it to a spot to save the game & get fresh life


interview proceeded to digress into video/computer games. he got the job

Is there anything I haven't asked you that you'd like to tell me about?
If i don't get in here, i'm filing for re-imbursement for my expenses. (sorry i'm not that funny 🙁 )
 
When introducing yourself, stick out your hand face-down and say "Kiss the rings, b#tch."
 
"Hello, are you Dr. Acula? My name is Uta Refson*."

(*Read it backwards)

So why do you want to be a doctor?

For the same four reasons that everybody does: chicks, money, power, and chicks. - Dr. Cox
