The Unofficial Guide to Getting Into Medical School: Mastering the Interviews, 1st Edition

Rather than the traditional question and answer format, Mastering the Interviews takes a completely fresh approach to interview preparation. It guides the reader through the most common themes that will be raised in the interview, and provides marking criteria, interview scenarios and supportive tools so students can practise interview questions with their friends, parents or teachers.
Written in conjunction with Medefine Education, experts on improving access to medical school, this unique book is also packed full of tips, tricks and advice provided by dozens of medical students and recent successful applicants who have aced their own medical school interviews.
