Did you get lost when you had an interview, providing you applied and got an interview for Aberdeen before going to Dundee? What's Dundee like? :smile:


I go to Aberdeen (got a dense one here chaps....)

Sorry, I misread. I'm in shock so really it's understandable :biggrin: I've heard the interviews are fairly relaxed?

It is much more of a chat than Glasgow's was. It will go smoothly if you know your stuff. Be confident and stick to your guns.

Shocker, that :P
Glasgow grilled me in my interview whereas Aberdeen were much more friendly and welcoming. Dundee's interview was fun and probably as friendly (though seemed to focus on what could get you chucked out of med school and what disiplinary procedures were in place for med students...). As TSFMS says its a relaxed "chat" with no catch questions in Aberdeen.
So long as you have answers to "why medicine?" and "why aberdeen?", and a reasonable knowledge of the course structure and what you wrote in your PS, it'll be fine. Pretty laid back tbh.

Hi everyone! Just phoned up Aberdeen with a Q about my application and just as the lady went off the phone she said "..and out of the 600 interviews we give out each year we've only given out about 60 so far" just incase anyone was worrying about not having heard back yet :smile:

:confused: Only the length of a weekend, in which it's very unlikely anyone would receive an interview notification...
