It\u2019s coming up to med interview season, when med-hopefuls from across the globe hustle to secure a place at UNSW. We\u2019ve put together a foolproof guide to help YOU ace YOUR interviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DOs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Proclaim to have loved medicine ever since you came out of the womb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Mention your desire to become a cardiothoracic surgeon or anaesthetist AT LEAST three times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Mention your love for science and people, which inspired you to choose medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Maintain eye contact through the whole interview without breaking it once, to establish dominance and assert yourself as a self-confident individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Memorise responses to all interview questions and recite them off by heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Gingerly place your hand on your left pectoral and recite the Hippocratic oath, taking care to pause for dramatic effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Emphasise that you want to become a doctor to help people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Shake the interviewer\u2019s hand vigorously, again, to establish dominance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. If asked about your biggest weakness, answer by talking about your perfectionistic tendencies and desire to perfect everything you touch, taking care to mention your sincere disappointment of only achieving a 99.90 ATAR and 3590 UCAT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. After the interview finishes, stand up and assume a bodybuilder stance, flexing your hands and demonstrating your architecturally perfect form. Optional: perform a Tiktok dance and invite them to join you.Ask the interviews why THEY want to interview you and watch as they look at you with absolute adoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DON\u2019Ts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. DON\u2019T smile \u2013 glare at the interviewer and occasionally growl or snarl to remind your interviewer that you are the alpha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. DON\u2019T nod your head \u2013 shake your head vigorously. By doing this you will stimulate the effect of a disco ball, thus subconsciously alerting the interviewer to your utter superiority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. DON\u2019T move \u2013 stay still for your whole interview to demonstrate your genetically superior ability to stay calm and maintain control under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of luck to all med hopefuls this upcoming season! You guys have got this – and remember, establish dominance.<\/strong><\/p>\n
