I have an interview at a medical school coming up soon which is going to be a closed file interview. This would require me to reiterate parts of my application throughout the interview. My concern is how one should approach the fine line between either choosing to "impress" the interviewers with your experiences and potentially sounding arrogant or choosing to be a bit more humble/chill and potentially not "wowing" the committee. For instance, I published multiple papers in undergrad. I guess I can modulate my tone and use certain statements such as " I was fortunate to have worked with excellent mentors/ a great team of students and ultimately, co-author" X number of articles. Therefore, I can get my point across through acknowledging other people and thus, avoiding sounding arrogant. However, does anyone else have any other ideas? Thanks!
