We’ve had a busy and exciting month with Brandon interviewing for medical school! Brandon does great under pressure, so he seems to be enjoying the adventure!One of the funnest and funniest parts of the process is hearing
about crazy questions that are rumored to float around interview tables. Brandon had an acquaintance get this one: “If you were a kitchen appliance, what would you be, and why?” Apparently, the interviewee answered that he’d be a toaster, resulting in a difficult explanation. This is one situation in which you really don’t want to blurt out the first thing that pops into your head!
At his last interview, Brandon related this story to the group awaiting their turn to interview. He got a few laughs but not much credit until one of their number came back to the conference room after his turn, with the report that he had been asked the same “appliance” question.
Have a go at a few more ponderous postulations we’ve heard below. Take them seriously folks, with MCAT scores and grade point averages losing ground to queries of a rather ridiculous nature, YOU maybe ready for med school too (the best answers will be used at Brandon’s next interview):
1. If you were a breakfast cereal, what would you be and why?
2. If you were a body part what would you be and why? (who else here would be a moustache?)
3. If you could have dinner with an
y 3 people, who would they be and why?4. If you were an appliance…
