6 Mistakes to Avoid When Scheduling Med School Interviews

It is vital you schedule your interviews strategically to optimize your chance of success at your top choice schools. You want to build a foundation of experience while ensuring you get to your top schools as soon as possible. First and foremost, don’t delay scheduling your interviews. The later you schedule them, the worse your chances of acceptance due to rolling admissions. That said, if you receive multiple interview invites, it’s critical to be strategic with how you schedule them. You don’t want your first interview to be at your top school because this is when you’ll have the least experience. Schedule lower tier options first to get a feel for how interviews are conducted and how you perform under pressure. While you don’t want to schedule your top interviews first, don’t schedule them last either. Placing competitive programs later in the interview season gives other applicants a leg up. Take a Goldilocks approach of not too early and not too late when scheduling your most important interviews. 🖋Accompanying Blog Post: https://medschoolinsiders.com/pre-med/how-to-schedule-medical-school-interviews/ 💌 Sign up for my weekly newsletter - https://medschoolinsiders.com/newsletter 🌍 Website - https://medschoolinsiders.com 📸 Instagram - https://instagram.com/medschoolinsiders 🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/medinsiders 🗣️ Facebook - https://facebook.com/medschoolinsiders 🎥 My Youtube Gear: https://kit.co/kevinjubbalmd/ 👀 Hand-Picked Productivity Tools: https://www.amazon.com/shop/medschoolinsiders 🎵My Study Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/user/1231934998/playlist/5joGbr1aQAIbMcJ9bOvJlk?si=iOAxgKNTQt-rrp1L8g-YWQ TIME STAMPS: 00:00 - Introduction 00:36 - Don’t Delay Scheduling Your Interviews 01:25 - Don’t Schedule Your First Interview at Your Top School 02:01 - Don’t Schedule Your Top School Interviews Last 02:34 - Keep an Open Schedule During Interview Season 03:08 - Plan Ahead and Practice 04:46 - Don’t Give Up 06:16 - Ace Your Medical School Interviews LINKS FROM VIDEO: How to Improve Your Interview Confidence: https://medschoolinsiders.com/pre-med/improve-interview-confidence/ Medical School Interview Preparation: https://medschoolinsiders.com/services/interview-preparation/ Medical School for Free – Scholarships and Other Ways to Save Money: https://medschoolinsiders.com/pre-med/cost-of-medical-school-minimize-debt/ How to Ace the Medical School Interview: https://medschoolinsiders.com/all-courses/ace-the-medical-school-interview-course/ How to Answer the “Why Medicine” Interview Question: https://youtu.be/5qPAbV0KTf8 #medicalschool #interviewpreparation #premed ==================== Disclaimer: Content of this video is my opinion and does not constitute medical advice.
