Whilst preparing for Medical School, you will necessarily undertake a broad range of work experience, as well as building up various skills and attributes. It can be difficult to keep on top of everything, and to gradually formulate these experiences into cohesive thoughts – and eventually into answers at interview. Therefore, you may find it useful to keep a notebook (be it physical or virtual) in which you write your reflections from work experience, from school, from extracurricular activities, and from other sources that you keep track of, like journals or newspapers. Try to build up your notebook with useful reflections, articles and links so that it becomes a personal guide to acing the medical school interview.

You don’t need to write everything in the book – instead, think of its contents as the differentiator between you and another student – something to set you apart.Â
