Narrate With Nuance: Preparing for Med School Interview Day

Med school interviews reward specificity, not polish: adcoms have heard the generic "I want to help people" answer hundreds of times, and what actually lands is a clear, honest narrative about why your particular path makes sense. This session looks at how to structure those answers so they hold up under follow-up questions, particularly for applicants whose background doesn't fit a standard premed script. Elijah has moved between clinical research, nonprofit leadership, and now medical school himself, so he's had to explain his own nontraditional path more than once. His read on what interviewers are actually listening for, beyond the rehearsed answer, is the kind of perspective that's hard to get from a prep book.
