Think about the standard questions such as "why med?" and "why this medical school?" etc and try to answer them

You could also research the course and uni background etc?

Mock interviews would also help

What are you good at?

Why did you pick this course? Basically the questions begin with Why, What, Where, Who?

hey! Its different for different universities. Like the general questions are the same but each uni has a certain format for interviews like barts show you a short video clip and peninsula is more centered on an ethical scenario.
New Media Medicine is really good for interview info so Id look on there as well
