Keele Medical School Applicants 2012

I got 8As, 4Bs and 2Cs at gcse.
4 Bs at AS.
Predicted AAA.
630 UKCAT.
Not a great student to be completely honest, but if I work my ass off this year I could potentially get the AAB.
Interview on the 13th February.
Volunteering at a major hospital, volunteered at a surgery and a care home.
I was unsure if KMS would give me an interview because of the sheer number of applicants, so I was planning on reapplying next October but waheyyyyy! :biggrin:

Thanks for sharing that. Is the spreadsheet from this applicant cycle? Because it says ''2011/12 A100 intake'' at the top of it.

in this medical interviews book i have, it talks about practice based commissioning and what the medical school curriculum was like years ago.

do you guys think we could be asked this stuff? or is the interview fairly simplistic?

Thanks to anyone who helps!
