Man, I missed some good book talk. I LOVE the HP books. I don't mind the movies, particularly the last 3-4. The acting does get dodgy in some parts, but that's what happens when you have child actors.

If you like JK, check out her murder mystery series. She writes them under the name Robert Galbraith. The first two are great. I could take or leave the third.

The book talk really made this thread worth it.

will do!


I've been thinking about this but for some reason I really enjoy reading more when I have the actual book. It would be nice to save some money though

I buy all my books used on amazon for $1 + $3.99 shipping

There's an algebra 1 problem in here somewhere, I just know it...

I think the bow tie would be pretty awesome, if I was the interviewer I'd be interested..

Then again, I doubt you would wear a now tie to an interview

I'd bring one in my pocket, just in case

If you ever have the opportunity to go to Portland Oregon, stop by Powell's It's literally a solid city block of books, with bookshelves 3 meters tall, and a solid 3 stories. Whenever I visit, I spend *cough, cough* several moneys *cough*.

Haha there's definitely such a thing as being overprepared for a question

What would your friends tell me about you?
I'm talkative.



I blanked out and couldn't think of anything else.

Got asked to tell a joke. Seems simple and easy at first glance, until the immense pressure of the interview allows you to only think of vulgar and racist jokes that even your closest friends cringe at

Oh god, that sounds awful. My condolences.

Speaking about books, I just finished reading "When Breath Becomes Air." Amazing read, and hell of a book to mention when they ask what you have read recently.

Is the moral of the story that the breath was air the whole time?

I'm not gonna spoil the message of the book. I've heard that it's a life changing book from doctors and others and now I get why. 100% recommend regardless if you read regularly or not.

Completely agree. Hands down one of the most inspiring and thought provoking books I've ever read.

A physicist, a biologist and a mathematician are sitting on a bench, watching people entering and leaving the house on the other side of the street. First they see two people enter the house; A while later, they watch three people leave the house.

The physicist says, “The initial measurement wasn’t accurate.”

The biologist counters, “They must have reproduced.”

Finally, the mathematician suggests, “If one more person enters the house, then it will be empty again.”

I'ma revive this thread because I'm bored and it's entertaining 😛

This wasn't med school related obviously because I haven't applied yet but for one of my jobs the topic got shifted to sports. Now I love playing all kinds of sports but I have never been a fan of watching them. I got asked which sports team was my favorite and just picked a random one from my city that I heard was doing well at the time. Conversation turned towards very specific players and games and I just nodded my head and agreed with all that was being said because I had no clue who any of those people were. I ended up getting the job so must've not been as bad as I felt it was at the time (or rest of it overshadowed that part lol). Interview was overall pretty casual though.
