Question: What do you do in your spare time?

Keep the answer short and sweet.  This is an opportunity for you to tell the interview more about your interests. Don't let this question throw you off.

The interviewer is trying to gauge whether you have any outside interests.  If you don't have any outside interests or hobbies, then this could raise a red flag.  A medical student with no hobbies or interests could find themselves without any avenues for stress relief, pent up frustration, or anxieties that every medical student faces during their 4 years.  If you have no huge passions or interest, then just tell them what you do in your spare time.  Lastly, when we are looking for future medical students, we want them to multidimensional.  We are not looking for one dimension applicant who does nothing but study... we are have unique interests AND study also!
