BCN Flights

After the orientation, you’ll tour the medical school. The tour, which will cover the clinical and instructional facilities, is when you’ll get the big sales pitch. Many applicants get so anxious about their interview that they forget that the school is really the one under scrutiny. Contrary to popular opinion, one medical school is not like the next. Each has a unique personality, which you may or may not like.
A medical student who has no bearing whatsoever on admissions decisions usually gives the tour, so feel free to ask any questions. It’s essential that you take time in the tour to get a feel for the school, in case you must decide between two or more schools.
For this reason, unless lack of funds totally prohibits travel, never accept the option to be interviewed in your area rather than at the school. Many schools send a representative to, say, California to interview applicants who can’t afford (or just don’t want) to fly east.
If you can, spend the night before the interview with a medical student. He/she will usually offer good insight about what things are really like at the school.

In general,

the interview process is divided into three parts:
the orientation, the tour, and the actual interview.
Not every school offers an orientation, but most do. Its purpose is not to evaluate applicants, but to inform them about what the day will entail.
All the other applicants to be interviewed will be with you at the orientation. Some may try to give you the impression that they are totally superior or that they were Albert Einstein in a past life or something. Don’t pay any attention to them. They’re just playing mind games with you and trying to mess with their competition. Just remain pleasant and smile a lot. Your display of maturity will probably bug them more than anything else you could do.
Use the orientation as a time to relax and gather your thoughts. Remember, if you are asked for an interview, it means they want you as much as you want them. Their goal for that day will be to sell you on their school and convince you to attend it over other schools that might accept you.
