It’s normal to feel nervous or self-conscious, but we promise you, you are far more critical of your appearance than anyone else, including the interviewers who are there to judge you. It is far more important to them that you look clean, neat, and professional and have a solid medical school interview.
People are not going to notice the minute details that you are obsessing about, so take a deep breath and trust that your professional attire will make you look amazing. Pro-tip: Practice your smile in privacy in front of a mirror.
Practicing your smile will boost your confidence and get you to genuinely smile for real. When you see your own smile, you’ll worry less about meeting the interviewers because you’ll know your smile is a winner. If you don’t believe it, try it. You’ll be surprised.
