But isn't getting into medicine being placed in the top 10-15 out of 100 anyways? :unsure:

But they don't interview, so it's solely dependent on your PS :erm:

Nice! :tongue:

No interviews for me yet :sad:


I'm sure you'll get some, Keele is being quite slow with giving out interviews this year apparently, and Southampton don't interview anyway.

Got a pre-interview rejection email from Leicester on Monday but still hasn't come through on Track :s-smilie:

Which is sort of calming and unnerving at the same time :zomg:

Oh yeah - I'm not soooooo good at those :tongue:

So I probably would have failed after interview anyway (If I had been offered an interview)

Try doing a 45 mark English Literature essay in German, with quotes, without the book in front of you, in 270 words. FML

German IS fun (at least the lessons with one of my teachers are :tongue:)

She plans to do a 5 minute starter, but we end up spending the whole 1hr 10 mins on it :biggrin:

And even funnier - she's a vocab/grammar (nazi*), so when she gets pissed, if she thinks of a good word, she tells us to note it down somewhere :biggrin:

* may be not so appropriate a word :tongue: (even funnier, she's Austrian :giggle:)
