How important is the personal statement for Birmingham?

It's of the same importance to Birmingham as every other medical school (ie. very)

Came home to find my first interview letter, thanks Birmingham! Though it's safe to say I'm not ready at all, I'm crapping it and it hasn't even fully sunk in yet. Anyone else got their letters?

Mine's on the 19th too, and likewise! Tell me about it, I think I'm gonna just look through my PS and preempt questions on it, as well as research the usual NHS/ethics stuff. I'm sure I'll still find a way to muck up the interview though!
What time's your interview? Mine's after the med school tour at 2:45.

I applied to Cambridge - Christ's College, UCL and King's :smile:
