Your Med School Interview Isn’t About Proving You’re Smart
Getting invited to a med school or law school interview means you’ve already demonstrated that you’re academically capable. So what is the interview actually for? In this episode of the GradMissions Office Hours Podcast, Autumn, Morgan, and GradMissions’ creative director Cole dig into what happens after you’ve “scaled the competency wall,” and why the next step is learning how to show up with warmth, confidence, and genuine connection. Cole, a comedian with a background in improv and performance, joins the conversation to talk about helping applicants translate the stories and accomplishments already in their applications into engaging, natural conversations. The team discusses elevator pitches, eye contact, body language, listening, handling unexpected questions, recovering when an answer doesn’t land, and staying engaged when an interviewer gives you very little feedback.
