Has anyone got an interview on the 23rd November for medicine?

There are 4 Andy's in my year alone haha! You'll have to be a bit more descriptive, but chances are I'll know him.
The November interviews found out around Feb/March during last year's cycle so it is quite a wait unfortunately, but worth it if you get an offer.
Can you remember who interviewed you?

Well the Andy that showed us around had short mousy hair? and i THINK blue eyes. He had been moved from the crappy Barlow? halls to this hall near some town houses? I don't know lmao.

And the interviewers were lovely :smile:

It was a woman and a man, both had grey hair I think. The man had glasses? Hmm i don't think this narrows this down at all haha.

These were my interviewers as well! Urm the woman was Gill Vince. I remember that cos i asked my tour guide who she was cos she looked so much like margaret off the apprentice. And the guy had a weirdish accent, it was kind of welsh i think :/

Hiya guys, I'm a first year medic at Lancaster as well, a good friend of Leonidas here. Thought that I'd lend some auxillary support and insist on repeating what he said- if you get an offer from this place, don't just snap their hand off, rip it off and devour every last part, subcutaneous or otherwise!

For a million reasons Lancaster is a fantastic place to study medicine, it really is a 'hidden gem'.

I saw some of you lot on Tuesday morning after interview, but if any of you guys have any questions about Lancaster/medicine, post them here or sling a PM my way and I'll get back to you.

All the best and good luck!

Yehh I think we all must have had the same interviewers! I liked the guy's accent lool. OML I really wish we didn't have to wait so long!! Thats the bad thing about getting earlier interviews, having to wait AGES to find out how it went lol. And we got interviewed by the head of admissions! :O I think Gill Vincent is the head. In my interview I found that the guy asked more questions, she still asked Qs, but not as many. How about for you?

No in mine the woman asked most of the questions, and the guy only asked like 1 or 2. Hahh they may have been alternating roles :P Yeah how long do we have to wait, its awful! I want to know!

We have to wait till March 2010 apparently! :/ And yeah maybe they were, the lady asked about 3 Qs in mine, tbh the interview was kind of a blur once it finisihed, I had to think loadss to try and remember exactlyish what they had asked me when I was telling my parents about it lol. 3-4 months to go! lool

For what it's worth, I recieved my offer on the 2nd February this year. That was the earliest they gave them out- but don't count on it, every year is different!

One year I believe they got back to the candidates before Christmas, but as university applications increase, it makes sense to assume that the time taken to get back to all the applications will similarly increase, so I think Feb/March is a fair guess. There aren't that many schools that get back to you in 2 weeks.
Dr Karen Grant is the head of admissions and Dr Gill Vince is Director of Medical Studies; Dr Vince is actually my PBL facilitator and she is very nice indeed.

Well my UCAS was processed by UCAS on the 14th Oct. They sent me an acknowledgement pretty quickly, like 2 weeks after applying? And they sent me a letter for an interview 9 days in advance. They dont use UKCAT which is probs why the start so early. Sorry about replying so late, have to use my dads laptop as my comp has died lol. Don't worry about not having heard yet, they interview into Feb, and I doubt they have sent many offers-if any at all, coz they probably rank everyones final score at the end hence them telling us they don't make decisions till March, there's still loads of time to hear from them :smile:

A non-school leaver has received an unconditional that I know of, but still no word from any of the school leavers waiting for conditionals that I know of. Best not to dwell on it, just enjoy Christmas and worry about all this stuff in the new year!
