Re: Leicester Medical School Applicants 2012 :)As a post interview but as-yet-have-heard-nothing applicant, I agree with this (for what it's worth!).(Original post by VMDMD)
Hey everyone waiting for Leicester interviews! As a post-interviewee and offer holder...I honestly wouldn't worry - easier said than done! You will of course be nervous. However the interviewers were lovely and stations were very fair and to be honest the Q's were pretty standard amongst other uni medical school interviews. Just concentrate on the stuff you would concentrate on for any medical school interview and you'll be fine. The couple of stations where it's something more specific can't be prepared for anyway - so I wouldnt worry - you also have plenty of time at each station. Just read through the usual interview stuff and dont worry too much - I think most people I met were surprised by how much better it was in realitty than in their head!
VMDMD, are you a GEM applicant (offer holder
then? When did you hear back?

Re: Leicester Medical School Applicants 2012 :)I don't think you're expected to get them until you receive an offer. The longest course will be Hep B which takes six months, but you're unlikely to be spending much time in hospital for the first few months of the course anyway so I wouldn't worry about it. Also, if you get it before you are made an offer you might have to pay for it!(Original post by PurpleThursdays)
Just wondering what to do about the immunisations and tests we're supposed to have? Are we supposed to be getting this sorted now or waiting for offers and the uni will sort it? -

Re: Leicester Medical School Applicants 2012 :)It went up on the leicester admissions update today that they will be starting to hand out offers/rejections as of now. This was the exact post :

Please be patient if you have not heard from us and please do not contact the Medical School at this busy time." -
