Medical School Interviews After a Business Education

Med school applicants come from a variety of backgrounds ranging from philosophy to
art to biochemistry and engineering. When you thumb through premed and med school
catalogs, every single one will tell you to major in what you enjoy or to get a liberal,
broad education. Well, for those of you thinking of majoring in business or working for a
couple of years, you should be ready for what the interview trail will throw at you.
No matter what, there will always be people, physicians, admissions committee members
who will have some hang up about business people going into medical school. And
honestly, there's nothing you can do about that perception. I don't have an MBA, but like
all interviews you will get questions about your background. You will get asked about
your business background, bank on it. You'll need to practice your spin. Obviously, it
should be truthful but there also needs to be some finesse involved because you ARE
trying to convince the interviewer that you want to go to medical school.
