    I got a missed call from durham earlier, I'm hoping it was for an interview.
    725 UKCAT, UCAS sent on the 8th. It is likely to be for interview, isn't it? Did you guys who got an interview get an email as well?
    Do you think I should ring Helen up tomorrow.

    Interview on thursday! Anyone who has already had one, how did it go? Anything they were particularly interested in which seemed slightly unusual?

    No!! The interview was fine! .. I was so nervous but they were really nice and made me feel relaxed .. They didnt ask any scientific questions - it was mainly about me and why i wanted to medicine and what sort of person i am. I got 2 ethical questions - 1 was kind of related to medicine - but wasdnt expected to know anything - just make a decision, and the other wasnt related to medicine at all.

    It lasted for 45 mins but went really quick!!

    Good luck!

    Sounds like my interview had it 2 days ago, yeah they must have asked me the same ethical questions as you although on the decision making one i changed my mind on my answer! oh dear they were nice, yeah mine lasted like 40 mins, went quick, then they had to stop as they said they had run out of time! They were running late on interviews it seems, as mine started 5 mins later.

    Don't know what to make of it... i just hope i get an offer ...

    I didnt change my mind on the answer but when she argued back with me (which she warned me should would no matter what my answer) i kind of agrred with her but still stuck to my original answer.

    Im sure you will have done fine! I feel exactly the same :|
