In this Vlogmas video, I’m giving the medical school interview advice I genuinely wish I had sooner—like the stuff that actually matters when you’re going through MD interviews, not just the generic “be yourself” lines. I talk through how I prepped in a way that didn’t completely burn me out, what I focused on the week of an interview, and how I kept my answers sounding like me instead of a rehearsed robot. If you’re the kind of person who spirals and over-preps (hi, same), this is your reminder that calm + clarity will take you further than cramming. I also get into common interview mistakes I saw people make (and ones I almost made), how to answer typical questions naturally, and what to do mentally if you haven’t heard back yet. I share the mindset shifts that helped me stay grounded during the waiting period, plus little things that helped me show up confident without trying to be “perfect.” If you’re applying this cycle or planning ahead, I made this to help you feel less anxious and more prepared—like big sister energy, but with real talk.
