in the acknowledgmenet it says that we MUST infrom them IN ADVANCE about dates we wouldn't be available. Does this mean we would have to send them the dates that we have exams, and anything elese before we would be called for interview?

I think so. Seems a bit strange telling them I won't be available on blahblah days for an interview if they don't even interview me lol.

Hey guys, I've just gotten an email notification from ucl saying that they have received my application. As I'm an international student I have to fly to london for interviee if I'm offered one. But I also have another application to another university that require me to fly to the uk for interview. Do I need to email ucl abt my other uni choices abt this so that they can schedule my interview concurrently so I do not have to go to uk twice? I haven't received any interview invitions yet though

Was just going to ask that. I have exams in January so I think I'll have to tell them all the dates I have exams.

I have Jan exams so will have to email about that but are any of you putting down potential interview dates? I've applied to Cambridge and I know that if I do get an interview, they will be from the 5-9th Dec. :s-smilie:

Yeah that's a good idea..

Does anyone think it's OK to say: "Infact, if you do decide to call me for interview, could you please avoid the whole month of January as I'd hate to have to juggle A-level and interview prep'"? lol or is that too cheeky?

Do they even call up A-levellers in January much? I'd thought it'd mostly be gap-yearers or international people..

They do graduate entry interviews during the start of January anyway because they already know that their school leaving applicants will be taking exams then. It's in the medical school prospectus.

Does UCL allow exams to be taken in January? I heard that you have take all your exams in the summer.

They recommend not to, but they don't have a policy against it. Weird I know :tongue:

6, 6.2, 3.5 A- the averages last year were something like 4,8, 4.9, 3B. Aim for sixes, I just asked some of my hall mates and it appears we all got in the 6 region, they also often ask questions from the essay at interview.

You'll be the 1000th person I've asked but, how long did you prepare for BMAT?

i went on a kaplan weekend course which was something like 9-5 along with a few hours prep outside of it. I wouldnt say the course was necessary as they basically gave us practice qns paired with some very simple rules for answering questions that are kinda obvious anyway.
