Hey guys!
I just wanted to make a thread for any advice you have for interviews or just to share your experiences throughout the 2017 application cycle.
I'll start off with sharing my experiences from last year
Barts and the London- Panel interview. 2 doctors, 2 students. Started off with asking about the article they've sent out to read before the interview, then went on to easy questions about myself. Pretty relaxed and friendly, no trick questions (probably because they could see how nervous I was
). Students also asked one question each. Lasted about 10-15 mins. Overall they were nice and friendly, I liked this one the most out of the 3.
UCL- Panel interview. 1 doctor 1 admissions tutor I think, also there was another person but they had to leave. Asked mostly about things in my personal statement and the BMAT essay. It felt quite rushed and they interrupted me several times when I was answering but overall nothing bad about it. Also on the day they were running late, mine was one of the last ones and about 30/40 mins later than expected. Lasted about 15 minutes.
Exeter- MMI. It was a fairly good lay out, they called groups of 7 from the waiting room and there were 7 stations. I can't remember the exact times but there was plenty of time to read question and prepare your answer before going into a room. The questions for every station were pretty straight forward, there was one station involving role play too. Can't remember how long it all lasted in total but it seemed to go pretty fast. There was a calm atmosphere and all the people were generally nice too!
If anyone has any questions about interviews at those medical schools please feel free to ask
