It's completely normal to feel like you could have done better, said things more clearly, or brought up an additional point. Its way easier to think about the negatives and forget the positives! Like @hartk48 said, many people in our class felt unsatisfied about their performance, and then theres people who felt like they aced it. At the end of the day, you honestly never know (which kind of adds to the excitement of this whole journey). I would say don't worry too much about it, all of your work is done! - AAMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premed_67 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 I'm not sure if anyone knows/can give me an answer to this but, for a few of my stations, the interviewers asked me a follow-up question when there was less than 30 sec left. I didn't have the chance to answer the question, would I be penalized for that? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're judged on what you said during the entirety of the station so don't worry about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartk48 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Follow up questions definitely play a role, I wouldn't discount them. In your situation, the interviewers were aware that you had 30 seconds to answer, so they wouldn't hold it against you if you didn't have time to answer... that would be unfair.

dankmeme Posted December 5, 2018 Report Share Posted December 5, 2018 Yeah just to add to this, last year I got cut off answering followups at like basically every station, and it worked out fine. Don't worry about it too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
