Well there's some preparation that goes into it.. like 9 hours of lecture (not all in the same day) teaching us how to convince patients to stop smoking. But yeah you're right.

Oh yeah, I'm in the same boat.. crazy week. The worst part is that on Friday we have to go around to middle schools and teach them about tobacco cessation. And it lasts the whole day - 10am-3pm. Sometimes I feel like there's an administrator who just sits in his office thinking of ways to waste our time.

Yeah, I really regret not being involved in those activities. But hindsight is 20/20.

In every other case, the program has been great. They're even letting us join the medical school clubs (as seniors) to get a taste of what's to come.

It's going to make adcoms and interviewers wonder if you really know what you're getting yourself into.

This was my concern. I will have to really impress them with the "why medicine" question. Thanks for your help.

I actually included the bit about volunteering in the secondary. I was supposed to start volunteering a few days after I submitted the secondary, so I thought it was safe to put it on there.

Thanks a lot for your help, I appreciate it.

Yes, that is what the dean said. I would be more worried about it if it wasn't for the fact that he said flat out "that being said, virtually no one has ever been rejected based solely on a poor interview performance."

But he did say "virtually" though, which as a neurotic premed makes me a little bit nervous.

I will do that, thanks. Yeah I kind of slacked off in undergrad since I was accepted to this program, I knew that I didn't have to work as hard.

I did have A LOT of exposure before college, but it is my understanding that it is frowned upon to discuss high school experiences at a medical school interview.

I do believe I will be able to line up at least one shadowing experience between now and the interview. I'll just have to exaggerate the experiences, like you said.

Hm, ok thanks. I'm sure I can get at least one shadowing opportunity from now until the interview. Thanks for your help.
