Getting back on track: I had an interviewee kept saying about how much she was interested in Osteopathy...except she kept on pronouncing it with a long O in the first syllable. My student interviewer and I kept looking at each other every time she did this, inwardly cringing. She actually was an OK candidate.

If she was from MN... totally makes sense. Don't ya knooow?

This is from my most recent interview - let me start off by saying that I was extremely sleep deprived as I thought it would be a good idea to save on a hotel by catching a red-eye.

Interviewer: So, you mentioned you have a good sense of humor. Can you tell me a joke?

Me: Ha sure, what's the difference between Michael Jackson and acne?

Interviewer: I don't know, what?

Me: Acne... (Stop dead when I realize I'm about to say "Acne comes on your face after puberty" at a medical school interview. At this point, way too much time has gone by.)

Interviewer: Yes? Acne?

Me: One is a singer, the other is a skin disease.

Interviewer: *crickets*

Me: I guess it's more of an inside joke.

I just want you to know that reading this post was the best part of my day.
Do you think they noticed or suspected you were trying to avoid an inappropriate punch line?
 
Interviewer: "Tell me something about yourself that would surprise me"
Me: *panics* *tells her I used to play league of legends*

I'm a girl and to be fair it does suprise people quite a bit unless they know me very well so it was the first thing I thought of.... Whoops
 
Chill!!!

Hands down the funniest post I've ever read on SDN. Bravo!
 
Not the interview, but during the lunch I broke a fork. The loud crack caught me off guard and I went "****!"

An admissions committee member behind me made a joke about me breaking the fork -> She ended up being my interviewer -> I was accepted
 
Interviewer: Tell me about a time you annoyed someone.

Me: That's a hard question, I know I'm annoying but I can't think of a specific time...

*awkward pause as we both realize I just admitted to being an annoying person*

Result: Accepted
 
At XSOM a few weeks ago, my interviewer asks me a question, and I give an answer that the interviewer thinks is funny:

Interviewer: Hahaha! Where do you get your sense of humor?
Me: ... My parents?
Interviewer: laughs more and raises his hand like he is about to give a high five
*the rest of this happens in slow motion in my eyes*
I start to raise my hand, but his starts to come down towards my knee (like the high five is turning into a low five), so I change tactics and move my hand awkwardly to catch his. Our hands make contact and then we both just sit there in an awkward hand clasp for a few seconds. He is still laughing while I cringe.

Expecting to hear back from this school in the next 2-3 weeks.

mmi med school interview interview

Interviewer: Do you know how much money physicians make! (loaded question prob to weed out salary seekers)
girl A: 400K plus or minus 100k
Interviewer: hmmmm, what you think of that? (looking at the next girl for a better answer)

dudGirl B: I would do the job for 300K hahah
:nurse:
awkward pause* as everyone stares at her.. as she slowly realizes what just happened
 
So heres a backwards one that happened to me today. Interviewer actually have a downright aweful answer to my question...

Me: So you mentioned you've been involved in Medical Education for over 20 years, where did you work before this?
Interviewer: Before coming to ____ School Of Medicine three years ago, I was the admissions counselor and head of recruitment for American University of Antigua!
Me:

Luckily I quickly donned my tin foil hat to protect against her Caribbean mind tricks...


**Just to remind everyone, this is a school who's admission page says "Medical school is tough. This part is easy."**
 
Quizlet04 said:
I mentioned having tropical fish in my application. The interviewer asked if I would ever think of eating them. :wtf: I think I had to make a comment about none of them being big enough for more than a bite size snack. Sure, they're fish, but he's joking about eating my pets.
Click to expand...
I really don't know why but this just made me laugh for a solid 2 minutes, which was every bit of relief I needed. Thank you for that
 
*Walk into first interview of the day, start hitting it off with interviewer, getting excited about the positive conversation...*

Me: So yeah, my research has really led me to appreciate clinical medicine more than anything.
Interviewer: *Looks down at phone and doesn't answer*
Me: *Getting nervous*... Yup... so uhhhh, hmm.
Interviewer: *Continues to look into the black hole void that is his cell phone*
Me: *Getting more nervous*....
Interviewer: *Literally doing nothing at this point -- is he even reading anything? or just looking at a blank screen to screw with me?*
Me: I don't mind, if, uh, you can do whatever you need to, it's all good, yeah, everything's good... *pushing the nervousness a little*
Interviewer: Oh sorry, I really should just tell you -- we're having a code yellow
Me: (thinking: what the hell is that?) What...?
Interviewer: There's a bomb threat in the medical center
Me: *is this the day I die? I haven't even eaten lunch yet...* Where exactly are we?
Interviewer: In the medical center
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :wtf:Best day to decide to interview!!! :bang:
 
This isn't something that happened to me (thankfully), but I think it fits here. I did a practice interview with a faculty member at a medical school, and she told me about an interview she had done a few years ago. The interviewee came into the room, shook the interviewers' hands, then sat down, leaned back, and put his feet up on a chair next to him. He sat like that during the entire interview up to this point:

Interviewer: So, tell me why you want to attend this school, specifically.

Interviewee: Well, my father is *Big Important Doctor/Government Man,* so it doesn't matter. This interview is a formality, really.

Interviewer: Uh, ok. Bye!
 
Interviewer: So I see you're getting your master's in... English?
Me: (without thinking) Yep!
(my master's is in engineering and I haven't taken an English class since freshman year undergrad, wtf am I doing 😵)
Interviewer: Tell me a little about your program.
Me: Well uh to start it's actually an engineering program... the classes are taught in English though...
 
At an interview I attended:
Interviewer: So tell me what you think about that idiot Donald Trump?
Me: (Instantly begin sweating profusely because I know politics in interviews are a "no-no") Ummm, is this is a trick question?
Interviewer: Not at all, just trying to gage your opinion of politics and staying informed.
Me: *Crickets....
Interviewer: Just tell me what you think of him.
Me blurting out like a neurotic buffoon: I think he looks like a microwaved orange circus peanut. (But I stated this kind of bluntly and matter of factly)
Interviewer, looking stunned: He began to laugh. He laughed so hard he almost fell off of his chair.
Interviewer: That was the best worst answer I have EVER heard. *He is crying at this point because of his laughter and trying to catch his breath.
Me: *Crickets. Thinking I completely screwed myself and my big mouth got me in the way of going to my dream school where they offer scholarships based on interviews.

I tried to save myself by telling him if he ever wanted to see the complete evolution and gastrulation of Donald Trump he could look up a youtube video showing a circus peanut being microwaved. He continued to laugh and then tried to evoke humor from me at every other question like I was a friggin clown or something. Am I screwed??

EDIT on 1/4/15: Update, I was straight up accepted to this school three weeks after interview. 🙂

Omg if I were the interviewer, I'd accept you on the spot!! Haha made my day

I'd accept that. You know the other awesome part of surgery? Scrubs. All day, everyday. It's like wearing pyjamas to work. And never having to do your laundry.
 
This isn't at all funny just pathetic ... need a place to vent.

Interviewer- asks a specific question about research.

Me- huh? What? Like you mean this? No? Ok I don't know honestly. I understand like the big picture ya know? (I worked in the lab for 2 yrs)

My worst interview at my state school :claps:
 
Not an answer but current worst interview situation: forgot to pick up my one and only suit from dry cleaners. They are closed tomorrow. I fly out tomorrow night on a red eye from Seattle to Boston. The school: Dartmouth (my absolute dream/reach) The interview: Tuesday.

Currently too tired to sob anymore. Anyone got life advice?

If you can find a colorful necklace this will distract your interviewers.

Not really that bad, but kind of funny.

Interviewer: So what do you see yourself doing in, oh, say, 12 years? And where are you?
Me: 12 years huh? Well, I suppose I'll be an attending in my chosen field, hopefully somewhere on the west coast. I'm right now interested in either thoracic surgery and dermatology.

At this point, I thought, maybe I should bring up some personal life.

Me: Hopefully with my wife at the time, too.
Interviewer: Wife at the time, huh? Planning on having multiple marriages? *Laughing*
Me: Ugh, ****. That came out wrong. Haha, no, well, I meant my girlfriend and I would be married by that point.

He knew what I meant, so it was just a silly little mistake. We both had a good laugh about it. 😛

I was accepted to that one this past Wednesday! Really great interviews, they were.

Another one that was kind of embarrassing, I don't think it's that big a deal but I hope my interviewer didn't get the wrong impression from it. Some context, I took extensive Spanish in high school and understand it quite well, though my speaking ability is not as strong. I took Japanese in college for 2 semesters as well and got A's in them, so I have rudimentary ability in that.

Interviewer: Ohayou gozaimasu (Good morning)!
Me: (quite surprised, I knew he was Asian but hadn't realized he was Japanese) Ohayou gozaimasu!
Interviewer: So I see you've done well in Japanese in college, that's very impressive. It's not an easy language to pick up.
Me: Yes, it was quite difficult! I found the kanji (Chinese characters used in Japanese) aspect to be the most difficult.
Interviewer: I also see you know some Spanish!
Me: Hai. Sorry, yes. (Hai means yes in Japanese.)
Interviewer: Yo hablo tambien. (I also speak Spanish.)
Me: 😵 Thinking, what the LITERAL **** Si, un poquito. (Yes, a little bit.) Not realizing he said hablo (I speak), not hablas (you speak)
Interviewer: I actually have a lab in Panama that I visit often, so I've picked up a little bit here and there.

The rest of the interview went fine, but he threw me off a bit at the beginning by switching languages repeatedly... Made a super stupid mistake. Haha. I hope he didn't feel like I was being fraudulent about my capability in those languages. At one point asked me about my strengths and weaknesses, as he had noticed some in my application, and I told him what I thought they were. Afterward, I asked, I'm curious, what do you think my strengths and weaknesses are? And he told me a weakness might be that I may be too empathetic... That a doctor maybe sometimes can't help their patients, but I may feel too strongly in situations like this. I wasn't sure how to respond; I'm not sure what I said. On the bright side, he said my strengths were "so many, you can see it plainly in the application." without naming any in particular, haha...

Status for that one, will find out on the 16th. Expecting a waitlist, just because of the acceptance/waitlist format they told us about. All the interviewees per batch are added to a pool consisting of everyone waitlisted from the beginning of the cycle and themselves. From that pool of waitlistees+new interviewees, 8 get accepted per adcom meeting. So the 8 they take could be all from that week's interviewees, 8 people from the top of the waitlist, or a mix. The top half of the waitlist usually ends up with an acceptance at some point, they said.

You're flying out Sunday evening, assuming you're going to arrive in Boston by Monday morning/afternoon? You have a whole day while in Boston to buy a suit if you like. Or, buy a suit tomorrow in your city, return it when you get back. Or keep it. Or you can try to borrow one from a similarly built friend.

Worse comes to worst, break into the dry cleaners' and steal your suit back. (Don't actually do this.)

Edit, just saw your new post.

Better off asking this in here http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/womens-interview-clothing-3.842732/. Pictures of the clothes would help, too.

I'm a dude, so I don't really know. But from what it looks like in my head, probably not a great idea. 😕

Call the place and see if you can track it down. Leave urgent voicemails. I'm sure this happens to them sometimes.
 
Head to a good thrift store, or just go shopping as jonny suggests.

Interviewer: Can you tell me about a time you had to use teamwork to solve a situation?
Me: (explains about a time when I was a camp-counselor and had to work with other counselors to fix a bully-ing issue by splitting up trouble-makers).
Student Interviewer: Haha, my wife and I have to do that with our kids all the time!
Me: Bro, right!? Kids are crazy..(quickly start laughing with him so everyone on the panel doesn't internalize that I just called my interviewer a "bro")
 
Didn't realize I could only be interested in similar specialties on SDN. My bad, guys. 🙄
I'm not a med student yet. Entering this August. But from my shadowing experiences and other life experiences, these two fields interest me the most. Is that so hard to believe?

I don't know whats worse, calling them "dude", or "bro".
 
This actually didn't happen at a med school interview, but rather a PA school interview, however I wanted to share. I was sitting with another female interviewee waiting to be called in for my one-on-one. We were just chatting about the school when she blurted out, "yeah, this school has to pretty much beg people to even come interview here." What's worse is that the admissions officer was SITTING RIGHT THERE AT HER DESK LISTENING TO US. I gave kind of a WTF:eyebrow: face just because I was stunned, but then I look over at the admissions officer at the front desk and she's like :wow:

I seriously don't think I'm living in the same reality as some of these applicants I've met. This wasn't even some new non-accredited school - this was an established program that earlier told us how they received over 1800 apps for 30 seats.
 
My friend just got back from an interview. She says the head of admissions, after asking them to share a fun fact about themselves, asked them not to do anything too weird. Apparently, last year a candidate's fun fact was that they could lick their elbows. Which they proceeded to demonstrate in front of everyone.

Lol laughed really hard when I heard this.

*Drops phone --> Frantically attempts to lick elbow --> Fails --> Questions self worth --> Adds "elbow licking" to list of skills to acquire before med school*

Myself and many others are interested in dissimilar fields. I don't see any reason why this is strange.

Hang in there...Switching languages is difficult if you didn't grow up with it (I grew up speaking three so switching wasn't a problem, and in fact when I was really upset, I'd just use whatever word in whatever language occurred to me quickest, which meant no one understood a damned thing!). Point being: it's uncommon to seamlessly switch from topic to topic, let alone from language to language. You certainly sound like an impressive candidate though!

Great exercise for the brain, though! The constant practice in switching from language-to-language apparently delays the onset of cognitive decline.
