    Lancaster always take longer than you might like to get back to you, I suppose you can take from that that they're taking time with their decisions?

    They've altered their interviewing format this year and are doing MMI with groups of hopefuls en masse. I think if you read back through the thread, they have already released two dates for these MMIs.

    I suspect they will issue invitations for the first (January) round of MMIs some time very soon.

    No need to worry yet.

    Good luck.
    they said before christmas, which aint long off....still nobody heard anything?

    yeah theres a possibility they have got delayed and it will go out after christmas but they did specify that the first would be before if you read earlier in this thread. the uni will shut for christmas so that would suggest next week is their last chance before christmas to do it....i hope so

    I don't suppose if anybody knows if they send out all their invites before xmas and that's it? They only take 50, so the interview process might be different.
    Anyone got any info? Very sad if that's the end of Lancaster emails.

    don't worry too much, at the end of the day you will have to overcome your shyness to be a good doctor by talking to patients and nurses every day, so its best to overcome it now!! be as outgoing as you can and remember how lucky you are to have an interview
    do you mind me asking what your academics are please, gcse as level etc?

    Yes, you are right about this, no need to find that page.
    I emailed the uni today, felt a bit down that I hadn't heard anything, and a very nice email explained that the next interviews will be sent out in batches before each one so that gives them more flexibility........so they may be short notice ones!!
    and yes, their will be one every Weds in Feb, thats 3 left.

    GOOD LUCK everyone who wants one!!!!!!!!!!:banana2::banana::bban: I know I do. I'd go bananas for one (Te he)
