Good luck

What they mean is that you will gain an unfair advantage compared to those who have already had their interview.

Didn't George's send you a pack with details about the sort of things they were going to ask anyway? I know last year (for physio interviews) they sent us a pack with questions that were 'likely' to come up. Low and behold, most did. I'm pretty sure everyone got sent one, but maybe not.

If you do a search back on the forum for things like med school interview questions, or med school interview prep there are loads of discussions from previous years about what came up. I remember looking at a thread last year that went into loads of details about what different questions got asked.

You're bound to get a why medicine question, and you will more than likely get an ethics one. You'll get a question on your outside activities, and then one around your work experience. I don't think it's an advantage knowing this anyway as it's the kind of stuff that any serious med school candidate will have thought about anyway.

Relax and let it flow. I remember at my interview last year hitting it off with the interviewers before going into the room. Big warm smile and handshake - they were both lovely too. Ended up laughing and feeling pretty informal through the whole thing, just like I was in the pub with some friends. Might see some of you around as the interview rooms are by the cafe.

I wont ask again lol, but I feel the urge to ask how?

Meaning all the people interviewed today are assessed compared to people in their groups. am I right or not?

It includes the people who have not yet had their interview too. They will be at a disadvantage But it says so in the SGUL pack: don't discuss interview questions on admissions forum websites or something.

Out of interest, are there lots of interviewees? And ok, this will sound strange, but did the female interviewees have suit jackets? Or will a shirt do?
Im trying to decide between a jacket and a waistocoat you see.
