see u this fall doc!
yeh to those who are preparing for the interviews....dont become unsettled by the interview format...i have heard ppl say that this format is ridiculous since they dont really get to know u ...but i had the other format where a panel interviews u and i felt that the tucom-ca group interview made an effort to actually know me and felt that they actually understood me more ..and through the questions they asked the group i was with ...i got to know the other students there too...and i didnt even see their file...they were nice ppl
the good thing about the tucom-ca is that they tell u in the morning when u arrive that if u get the interview, u dont have to worry about whether u are smart enough, well rounded enough...etc etc...coz that y u are there coz they know that u will make great doctors anywhere u get accepted... even if they ask u questions about ur grades .be confident...know that u are good enough...they are just seeing if u can communicate..which is not hard..keep repeating to urself when ur getting worried.."i am the top 10 % of their applicants( which is true if u got a spot for interview).. they like me stats...now...i just have to show them im a happy with who i am and where i am going"
sorry for the long message..but if this even helps one person out there..then i will have made a difference already lol
