      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      While academic strengths are a vital part of your medical school interview process, ensuring that you are a fit for the culture and team at the program will be equally as important. The interviewers would like to get to know you apart from your CV and school transcripts, and this question allows them more insight into who you are as a person.

      How to Answer

      You are not obligated to discuss personal matters such as your relationship status. Stick with some fun facts about yourself to show the interviewers that you are a real person, too. Your answer should be unique so that you are a memorable candidate! For example, you might share that you enjoy beatboxing or making origami swans. Be prepared for the interviewers to ask you to perform your skill on the spot when it's possible! (This will make you unforgettable!)
