You should look enthusiastic and abuzz with energy. Also avoid stammering
and talk only when you are talked to, without interrupting the interviewers.

show your deep interest in medicine. The interviewers should feel you
passion for the profession. You should present yourself as an asset to their
school that they would not want to miss.
