The interviewers would like to know you apart from what is written on your CV and school transcripts. You are certainly not obligated to discuss personal matters such as your relationship status, for instance. Stick with some interesting facts to show the interviewers at Tulane University that you are a real person too. It is essential to showcase personal interests and passions beyond what is listed on the CV. This can include hobbies, extracurricular activities, and other non-academic pursuits. By sharing these aspects of your life, interviewers can better understand who you are as a whole person and assess how well you would fit with the school's culture and values.
Your answer should be unique so that you are a memorable candidate! At the end of your response, remember to connect the factors you discuss and how they will ensure that you will be a stellar med student and future physician.
"I am an avid triathlete and have traveled to seven countries in the last three years to compete in various races. I am a competitive individual and enjoy keeping fit.
