Manchester Medicine Applicants 2012

I wasn't really surprised by any of the questions because it is literally what they tell you in that email they sent. But I did glimpse they had which had 3 sections and mark out of 5 for each question I think with a space for a comment under each. Now if the other two station were the same that would be 15 x 3 = 45 possible marks for the interview bit and dunno how many marks for the group task.

However, I found this old feedback sheet for manc on the internet which had 120 x 3 and 40 in the group task (which is 3 times less any of the stations). So following that logic it would point to 5 points for the group task??? So making it a total of 50 points max.

But all of this, especially the bit about the group task is conjecture, since I only saw one form when the interviewer looked down at it while talking

That feedback sheet is quite a few years old and from before they introduced the group task. I was in the last year (or last but one) that had the old interviews - one 20 minute interview with a panel of 4 interviewers. Each interviewer gave you a mark out of 30 for each of sections 1-3 and a mark out of 10 for section 4. Then they were added up.

It seems very unlikey that the group task would make up such a small proportion of the total interview score...

I feel like I'm the only one without an interview now! Every time I see someone's added a comment to this thread it's about interview technique concerns...I just want to get a ruddy interview!

Best of luck all!

Does anyone know if the interviewers have a copy of your references (as well as personal statement) with them?

After resigning myself to a Manchester-less fate, I received an email yesterday offering me an interview. 4/4 now, very happy

wow thats fantastic, where did you apply? 2/4 so far for me..

Hey, does anyone know how much weighting Manchester give to interviews?
And is everyone on a level playing field at interviews, or are better applicants already at an advantage?
Thank you (:
Oh and got an interview for the 8th of feb

Once you have an interview you're on the same level as everyone else with one. Offers are given out based solely on interview performance.

okay thanks, and i'm guessing it doesn't matter when you have your interview, for example someone who has their interview in Feb, has the same chance as someone who has theirs in Nov right?
