Hi all non-trads. I am hoping to get some insight from you all on how to best answer an interview question. I haven't taken an upper level science course in over 5 years. I received my master's in public health and I received A's in those courses recently. I also received A's in the majroity of my upper level sciences courses when I was in undergrad but if asked in my upcoming interview "you haven't taken a hard science course in 5 years, how can you prove your ability to excel in demanding courses blah blah blah' does anyone have any advice to best answer this? Turn the question into a positive? acknowledge it and move on? Unlike many premeds in college I don't have an advisor or committee to ask questions to, so hopefully you can help me.

"Well, I'd like to think I've already proven that. Not only did I receive As in most of my upper-level science courses as an undergrad, but I also scored quite well on both the physical and biological sections of the MCAT."
