Hey! you'd be fine wearing trousers and a smart shirt as you said, I think a full suit would be too much. I had to ask the same question lol :rolleyes:

Where have you applied? :smile:

Hi! Thanks for the advice! Think I might just go with a slim fit suit without a tie though. :cool:

I've applied to Keele, DeMontfort, Aston, Birmingham and Manchester...so mostly ones around the West Midlands. How about you? :smile:

You can do both. For my last interview I wore a full suit but the time before I jus wore a v-neck jumper and a shirt n tie. I think smart is best, probs best to go in full suit I would say. But up to ur preference :smile:

Cardiff was hard for me! Yeah, it's goes like 5 mins on "why pharmacy, why cardiff" etc. then 10 mins on pure science knowledge, they'll ask how your subjects relate to pharmacy, news in pharmacy and I got horribly specific questions on drugs since I work in a pharmacy, then like 5 mins on "give an example of team work, what's your greatest achievement" etc.

I left my interview almost crying since I couldn't answer half the questions, but got an offer 2 days later!! So really don't worry, I had such a bad vibe from her and it ended well :smile:

Just try and answer the questions even if you have no idea. I think its the fact that I gave every question a go that they liked, even if I didn't know it rather than being like "I don't know ... next question." :smile:

Good luck!! x

My interviewer didn't ask me many science questions just what my favorite chemistry course work was and what did I know about MRSA it wasn't that bad at all which interviewer did you have?

Her name was Leanne. In the talk the man gestured to her and was like "Leanne will be taking over admissions soon" she was the tall, skinny blonde lady in the front row. So I think she's the new head of admissions.
