INTERVIEW!!!!!!

So, I FINALLY have my interview tomorrow for medical school!!!! Only one, but it is a start. As I said in an earlier post, the interview is for St. George's, which was no surprise to me; I have believed for a long time that SGU would be the place where I would make my dream a reality. I actually found out about the interview in february (see post entitled YES!!!). The interview coordinator had set my interview up with Dr. A (due to the rules, I can't use names without prior permission!!) in Albany. However, when I called her to schedule she informed me she was out on early maternity leave!!! So, SGU had to find me another interviewer. That took some time; almost 3 weeks. So tomorrow (3/29/06) I will be traveling to NYC for my interview with DR. F. From talking with him on the phone, he seems very polite and was very accomodating with my interview time.

It would be inhumane for me to say I am not nervous; I am, just not in an over the top "Oh my god I have an interview" way. I have spent the last week formulating my answers to the most popular questions (Why doctor?, why SGU?, etc) and have spent almost every waking hour mentally reviewing my answers. I feel prepared, and I am confident that this interview will go very smoothly. I have had no restless nights leading up to the interview, which for me is a very good sign (means I AM prepared!!) My only occassional "bad dreams" involve me not getting to Roosevelt Hospital on time, and missing my interview!! One dream was actually quite funny, I was trying to catch the subway; ACTUALLY trying to catch it. I was running down the track, jumping over rats like they were hurdles...it was all pretty humorous when i finally woke up!!!

I plan on posting my entire interview experience on Thursday; see you then!!
