Worst imaginable thing to say in an interview!

What are some of the worst things imaginable to say (or you've personally heard being said) in an interview. For me it's (true story):

Interviewer: "So why do you want to be a doctor"
Interviewee: "My dad really wants me to."

 

[deleted407021]

"It admits me to the school, or else it get's the hose again."

 

[allantois]

Why DO?
Couldn't get MD.

 

[FindMeOnTheLinks]

"I killed a guy"

 

[tartesos]

Interviewee: So how far along are you? ( fat lady)

Interviewer: I'm not pregnant.

 

[MightBeACylon439]

"I'll show you mine if you show me yours"

 

[palatopharyngeus]

interviewer: "what would you do if you didn't get accepted to med school?"
interviewee: "id settle for your position"

 

[mik30102]

 

[palatopharyngeus]

interviewer: *anything*
interviewee: "thats what she said"

 

[Drrockstar]

Interviewer: "Do you have any questions you'd like to ask?"
Interviewee: "Ya. Oprah Winfrey, Rosie O'donnell, Kathy Bates: You gotta f*** one, kill one, marry one- GO!"

 

[Hospitalized]

Both teams played hard.

[Theafoni]

"What is your opinion on the current healthcare climate?"

"Muhfukken uhhhhhhhhh"

 

[Theafoni]

Interviewer: "Do you have any questions you'd like to ask?"
Interviewee: "Ya. Oprah Winfrey, Rosie O'donnell, Kathy Bates: You gotta f*** one, kill one, marry one- GO!"

Off topic but I just realized Rosie O'donnell looks like a really fat Katy Perry.

 

[Spinach Dip]

"Really, I just want to get into medicine for the money."

 

[Spinach Dip]

Or:

"Yeah, I play League of Legends."

 

[FoodIsMyBFF]

"I would only attend this school if no one else accepted me..."

 

[Mad Jack]

"You look great in that dress. Want to meet up after the interview for drinks?"

 

[palatopharyngeus]

interviewer: "what do you think is the biggest challenge facing the current healthcare system?"
interviewee: "declining physician salaries"

 

[gyngyn]

The first time I ever heard the phrase "make bank" was in an answer to the question "what brought you medicine?" It was also the first time I heard "be a hero."

 

[Goro]

Me: What would happen if you didn't get into med school this year?
Interviewee in his first cycle: Find another career.

[Catalystik]

Interviewee: "I didn't prepare an answer to that question, so instead I'm going to tell you about XXXX." (Gives an obviously scripted, unrelated monolog on a useless topic.)

Same person used this line about 5 times during the interview.

That's really bad.

i will never understand how a person can be smart enough to get the gpa/mcat/other qualifications for a med school interview, and then all of a sudden be dumb enough to say something like that

We have a winner!

Wow. Just wow. I don't even.

 

[Catalystik]

That's really bad.

Keeping a neutral face was a big challenge.

😱We have a winner!

Using the term "make bank" as a reason for medicine seems like a good contender, as well.

Wow. Just wow. I don't even.

Multiple mental face palms didn't begin to dissipate my incredulity.

This is one of the few times an SDN post makes me bellow out loud with laughter!

Good grief. How is it possible for someone who GOT AN INTERVIEW to be so socially clueless?

lmao. who knew it was this easy to escape difficult questions

No way. The only way I can imagine someone having the hubris to say something like this is if they were a super star applicant and had already been accepted to other institutions. Can you give us some more details about how this interview went? Unbelievable..

He was accepted (somewhere else!), I always check to see who is goofy enough to take these guys!
He did have pretty good stats, but on days like today I'm so glad I won't have to be finding him a residency position.

That's why we have interviews. You can pay someone to write your PS...

Exactly!

 

[f4reignbeauty]

@gyngyn people really do that?

 

[it'sabeautifullife]

🤣Had to be torture for you to keep a straight face! Hard to fathom...Maybe found out on their way to the interview accepted into top choice?!?

 

[gyngyn]

@gyngyn people really do that?

Yes, I'm sure of it.
Last year I had two personal statements that would never have made it through turnitin. They were essentially identical.

He was a piece of work. He was not accepted at the time we interviewed him because he was still unmatched when the waitlist came out.

 

[AlteredScale]

LOL! Please tell me you got this from Vine!

I can't picture this scenario of the two of you without cracking up! Thanks for that--now I can get back to biochem test prep with a huge smile!

Well if daddy has the money.....

 

[biodome92]

I'll confess one of my own. I was asked how I might console a child who was being bullied.

Interviewer: "How would you reassure and comfort this child?"
Me: "I would say, 'don't worry, it will get better in a few years.'"
Interviewer: "You would really tell a child to hold out for a few years?"
Me: "Uhhh..... no?"

Honestly, not my best.

lmfao 😆😆😆

 

[VitaminVater]

Interviewer: why do you want to be a doctor?

Interviewee: So when I'm getting no love at the club, I can just loudly tell the bartender "that's enough for me tonight, I have surgery in the morning!"

 

[Doctor Dream]

"Why are you interested in DO?"

"Well...they look at the patient as a whole which is pretty cool...so yea."

 

[Lawgiver]

i will never understand how a person can be smart enough to get the gpa/mcat/other qualifications for a med school interview, and then all of a sudden be dumb enough to say something like that

Ben Carson. Anything is possible. 🙂

 

[notbobtrustme]

"and that's why I can't be within 500 yards of an elementary school"

 

[username456789]

The responses in this thread have been entirely unimaginative and tame. Although, I guess most reasonable answers to the prompt would result in an immediate permaban.

 

[palatopharyngeus]

"and that's why I can't be within 500 yards of an elementary school"

bwahahahahahahaha 😆😆😆so wrong, but so funny

That would be the difference between book-smart and street-smart lol. That was kind of horrible, though...

I keep finding out things about the admissions process. I knew that schools could see the offers that their accepted students got, but I didn't know that they could check on those that they rejected, too. You people know everything! Lol.
