best way to present themselves to the interviewer. When it is over, the inter- viewer usually writes a report which the admissions com- mittee considers along with the application. Sending thank you notes to interviewers is common. After completing over three years of premedical work, the primary application, the sec- ondary application and the interviews, the exhausted premed now has only to wait for word from the medical schools. Eventually, after many weeks of running to the mailbox, a letter will come. The schools accept, wait list or reject the applicant. Since wait listing means different things at different schools, the wait-listed applicant should let the school know if he is interested. If the applicant has been ac- cepted at more than one school he must decide where to go. Aside from the mate- rials sent by the school and interview impressions, the ac- cepted applicant has several options: revisiting schools, talking with professors and premedical advisers about the strengths and weaknesses of the schools, and/or speaking with students enrolled at the schools. In the end, it is a per- sonal decision which may in- volve weighing many factors or just going with a gut feel- ing. ❑ Sheri Fink, a West Bloomfield resident, will be entering the combined M.D.-Ph.D. program at Stanford University Medical School this fall. 7 The Right Questions Frequently Asked Interview Questions What was your major?

How do you plan to finance your medical education?
