Hey, sorry you didn’t get in first time. I’m from the UK, so we don’t do premed, we just go from college straight to medicine! In my first interview, I also bombed it but it was because I was so nervous, not of my stutter. On my second attempt the following year, I just told myself to remain calm and relaxed and like I said in the earlier post, I’m quite lucky in that when I speak slowly, I hardly stutter. Definitely don’t hold back in your answers, if you stutter, you stutter. You need to answer the questions fully. Perhaps telling them before that you have a stutter might make things easier? And practice practice practice! With family, friends or in front of the mirror.
