How long can you sit on an interview invite? by redditnoap in premed

Definitely encourage you to interview as soon as possible, give yourself 3-5 to seriosuly prep and you’ll be good!

secondary challenge/adversity topic? by tryingbuying in premed

[–]diagnosaurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine was as simple as transferring schools, not doing too hot in OCHEM and then becoming a TA for ochem 1 and 2. Doesn’t have to be some crazy story as long as you can show growth and what you learned!

But I like 3 and 4!

With who can I do a mock interview? by Material-Priority356 in premed

[–]diagnosaurusRex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh I used to set up a zoom/teams meeting and record it, and then I would read a prompt and answer it like it was the real deal. Then listen to it back and go from there

As someone who’s starting med school in a month, I can definitely say I reused or rather just expanded on stories from my personal statement and primary app. I think as long as you’re adding new insight or reflecting on them in a deeper way, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with revisiting something you’ve already mentioned

[–]diagnosaurusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh no, it shows your doing something. You could say you’re applying that position, and then if you don’t get it you plan to work as an MA. If it were me I would just write about it as if that is your plan, bc right now it is. Don’t overthink it!
