UCL Medicine Applicants 2012

My interview was very short ... they asked me about 5 questions ...

Yep mine was... Iffy ;p but such a nice atmosphere, we got told we were allowed to rearrange the tables so made a huge table ring. Just have to wait and see now!

really? maybe they liked u and didnt feel the need to ask much? were the questions asked v.varied?

I really doubt it ..
I think i spoke a bit too much and wasted their time ...
So they didnt have time to ask me that many questions :/

It was kinda ... few things about my personal statement , what i enjoyed from my work experience, 1 bmat question (which i flunked) , and the typical what i do outside my academic life ..

No ethics or nothing ... im very worried ..

nahh just wait and see.. im sure everyones interview has been really different so don't panic yet!
was there no standard "why med" or "why ucl"? im so nervous for mine got it on the 8th

Thats why im worried!
I was fully prepped for all those questions and they didnt even ask them ...
Its really stressing me out ...
Im expecting a rejection...

But i do know people who have got those questions so it would be wise to prepare on them

I'm an international and just had my interview on 31st Jan. Still haven't heard from them yet. Sooooo anxious about it. I was super nervous for my interview and forgot whatever I prepped for. Hopefully they'll still give me an offer. Geez it's the third day already. If they were impressed with me, they'd give an offer immediately within the the first two days right?

Rejected.

Interview on 31st for internationals.

Yup i got rejected too. Interview on 31st for internationals. I think its pretty cruel how they keep our hopes up by assuring us there is a place for us and making us travel 14 hours there for the interview and eventually rejecting u s. Ohwell their loss is another uni's gain. I will become a better doctor than they ever thought i'll become.

If your intl, bear in mind they don't have that many places for you. I know being interview means there is a place, but the odds *I would suspect* would be much harder for you because of the lack of places and therefore UCL try and attract the best of the best of the interview stage perhaps?

I guess so. I'm a bit confused about them saying that when you're interviewed they already have a place for you because on the day of my interview there was already 10plus candidates. Since there were a total of 5 interview dates for internationals to choose from and assuming that there were about 10 ppl on each day, that would mean abt 50 ppl already. So how can there possibly be enough places to go around? Anw I'm gonna get feedback from them. No complaints though, the interviewers were really nice and friendly. Maybe I didnt impress them enough

I'm international, had my interview a 10 days ago and I luckily got an offer. All I can say is that you should be yourself during the interview. Just be honest and speak from the heart. The content of what you say is not that important. I believe that you should just demonstrate your sincere passion for medicine. I hope that helps. Good luck to all of you.

Congrats on your offer! I am an international student, attended the interview and my ucas track said I got a conditional offer. However I can't help but feel paranoid that a mistake may have been made, in case ucl clicked the wrong button or something haha. Did you get an email from ucl after your ucas track was updated? if so, how long after did you receive the email?

Just print screen and save a copy of ure UCAS track which shows the conditional offer, and save/ print out a copy of the UCAS acceptance letter.

Then if they "change their mind" which I doubt they would, you have proof that you had the offer beforehand.
