面试准备

你可能会见一位面试官30-60分钟，然后会见下一位面试官.

You may face a group of two to four interviewers.  The panel could consist of Admission’s Committee members, 教师, 卫生专业人员, 校友, and/or current students in the program.

This format typically consists of a series of seven to ten stations. At each station, students are given a limited amount of time (e.g. two minutes) to read a prompt, and then a limited amount of time (e.g. six to seven minutes) to respond.  提示通常是基于场景的，通常不复杂/不需要医学知识. 

Some schools interview a small cohort of applicants simultaneously. 在小组会议期间, 面试官可能会向应聘者提出一个假设的问题，并要求他们共同努力解决问题.

公开档案面试的面试官会查看你的档案，包括成绩, 入学考试成绩, 申请论文, 推荐信, 等.

在闭门采访中, 面试官要么在你的档案中什么也没看，要么只看你的个人陈述(或者在你的二次申请中有一篇文章)。. 封闭式面试的目的是消除档案中可能存在的任何偏见，并说明你如何给不了解你的人留下印象. 无论哪种情况, 确保你可以讨论你在初始和二次申请论文中所做的任何和所有评论.

一般策略

• 面试官可能没有花时间看你的档案(或者没有看过你的档案), 所以不要说, "Like it says in my application…" 
• If you do not understand the question, ask for a clarification. When asked a question that is totally unexpected, many students launch into an answer and quickly begin to ramble. Pause and organize your thoughts before speaking. 
• 下面是一些你想要有条理、有逻辑地回答的问题:
• 为什么 do you want to pursue a career as a...? 
• 为什么 are you applying to this particular school? 
• 考虑到大量高素质和令人印象深刻的学生申请我们的项目, 我们为什么要选择你?
• Do you have any questions for us or questions about our program? (注意:确保你的问题是真实的，而不是通过快速的网络搜索轻易回答的)
• What will you do if not admitted this cycle? 你的B计划是什么?
• What do you see yourself doing in 5 or 10 years? 
• 关于你，还有什么我们没有讨论过而我们应该知道的吗? Is there anything that you would like us to know about you? 

• 反思一下你能从这个项目中学到什么，以及你是否仍然认为它适合你.
• If the school has indicated it is appropriate to do so, you may wish to send hand-written thank you notes. 
• 如果学校表示这样做是合适的，发送更新(学术，经验等).) relevant to your application so they can note it in your file.
