According to Dr. Sheryl Neuman, Accepted’s expert in residency and fellowship admissions, one of the most common residency interview question asked will be: “Why did you want to become a doctor?” Practice your answer to this question ahead of time so you can create a coherent answer and avoid rambling. Your answer should be long enough to be conversational, but not so long that you lose your listener with too much detail.

You Don’t Need to Take OUR Word for It…
A recent client who prepped for her interview with Dr. Neuman recently emailed her the following:
“I just wanted you to know that I appreciated all of your help during the mock interview. So many of your questions came up and I was prepared for them! Thank you again and I look forward to updating you about future interviews.”
