Interviewing

1. Be yourself and be candid.
2. Dress professionally. OK, so some of y'all may have the compelling need to assert your individuality. Go ahead if you think it's worth the risk. After the MCAT, I decided to grow my hair out (and it was big), but I got clean-shaven for interview season. It's just not the way you want to stand out. Plus, you've got a couple years before seeing patients where you can ``let loose''.
3. Be humble.
4. Be respectful.
5. Know your application. That is, re-read your personal statement, look over what you listed on your AMCAS, etc. in case you get asked something picayune which you may have done awhile ago and don't remember as well. Sometimes, you'll get a basic science prof and they'll ask you about your research (or lack thereof).
6. Do a practice interview with a faculty-type person never hurts.
7. Be prepared to tactfully defend yourself (should something negatively stand out on your application).
8. Send a thank you card.
9. Relax. Making it to the interview is the hardest part. Fifty percent of those who get interviewed get a spot. Find comfort in the knowledge that you've met that school's minimum requirements. This is the time to sell yourself as a $person$ and show them why you will be a great medical student and a phenomenal physician.
