    Me tooo -___- ..and I thought 20 minute interviews were long! But I suppose that the sooner we get over it, the better! Plus its the chance to start afresh at every station. How are you preparing?
    Probaly browse the website and try and predict possible interview questions, practice as many as possible. Also do a few mock interviews. Learn my personal statement inside out. Pretty much around it, not sure what else I could do .

    Hopefully it goes well for us all. I live quite close so it would be an ideal uni to get into.

    I'm pretty sure they don't have your personal statement during the MMI style interviews. You fill in a sheet detailing work experience before the MMI starts and that is only used for one station.

    Oh, okay thanks for that. I wasn't aware of this.
    Does anybody know what each station is based on? ie, ethics, role plays etc.

    Are the references just for work experience or for all our voluntary work too?

    Regarding the work experience evidence... Would a certificate be enough? It has my name and the duties and stuff on it... But im wondering if I still need to get a letter anyways?

    Its best to ring them and ask. My guess is that they'll ask for a letter anyway.

    They don't have your PS at any of the stations, only a record of your work experience (at one station). There are some examples of MMI stations on the SGUL website.

    To those with SGUL interviews, did you get the notification from St George's or UCAS track?

    urm....dont bother with your personal statement...they dont have it at the stations....

    make sure you do your research into the uni course and how its taught etc...

    im not allowed to tell you the interview questions i had last year but this is what i can tell you (try and pick up the hints ;P)

    there are 7 stations....you have to talk for 5 mins in each one!!!.....

    they ask you a question and thats all they can ask!!!!!

    OH YA

    the scenarios themselves arent hard....its just the stress/pressure your under...SO REMAIN CALM!...DONT PANICK....

    they almost all the time have an ACTOR scenario....

    theres a reason why they make you fill out them work experience forms ....
