Sheffield Medicine Applicants 2012

Question for girls: what do we wear to interviews? I know it's meant to be pretty smart, but how smart are we talking? Is a skirt and blouse ok or do we need to go for the full on suit??

For those of you who have received offers, have you had an email from Sheffield themselves? I only got an email from UCAS saying Track had changed, it's been a few weeks now and I still haven't had an email from Sheffield

Any tips for the Drug Advert SSC?

Had my interview recently, interviewers were quite friendly so I felt relaxed enough during the interview (though I was less than relaxed just before :P). Good luck to anyone still to do their interviews.

Now to play the waiting game.

Were you during the last week by any chance? I had mine last wednesday
Aww, my interviewers were pre mean, hope I handled the stress well.
Good luck for u app

Yeah mine was last week but it was Friday!

Sometimes they change their tactics though, some of the people I met on the interview day said their interviewers were mean as well!

Yeah good luck to you too, I'm hoping to hear back sooner rather than later :P

Oh cool.
Yeah, the other guy in the other room at the same time as me had the "best" interview ever. I think it was to do with rooms, like one room had more stressful and pressuried interviews and the other was standard (before i get negged, this is just a thought and my opinion, not meant to be offensive)
Same, if its going to be a rejection, no point dragging it out and if it is an offer, then really good to brighten my mood during mocks.

Haha from your signature looks like you had a blast last week :P

Let me know how it goes with you for Sheffield, its probably my top choice so I'm pretty nervous about it but hope its alright!

I know, best week ever (no sarcasm) England is amazing (i am intl)
Will do its prob going to be a rejection (I did unbelievably BAD), hope you get the offer then. It is an amazing place to be, not a huge city and so friendly and they are renovating the medic building so it will be pre good.

I remember last year there was an international who thought they did badly on their interview because of the interviewers' hostility, they kept looking at the clock on the wall and stuff. They got an offer though so you might have done better than you think!

Yeah I like that its not too big and not too small, pretty cheap and there's the awesome facilities.

Oh, are you a reapplicant? Yeah, mine kept doing that too. In most of my interviews, thought it was just to make sure we don't go over time, didn't even realize it was hostile. Fingers crossed for both of us, the medical school has prob already made the decision for my interview group, they said they do it within 2-3 days but the general office takes time to update.
I said that as one of my reasons: not too big and not too small.

Yep reapplicant, they didn't ask me about my gap year at all though just had to throw some of that in my answers :P

The woman at reception said they make their decisions early as well but they have to send it off to the main uni office or something. There should be a special office just for medics! :P

But anyhoo, sincerely hope we both get offers!
