I prepared hard for all my interviews except KCL and look what happened. And you have done 2 interviews, you know what to expect and all so guessing thats why you have become lazy. :tongue:

Honestly, for me that ISC book wasn't the best resource. I got maybe 10 questions out of it during the course of 4 interviews. But good luck and hope you do well at UCL, i think ur supposed to know ur S3 essay, medical news and other news, and some PS questions (but my cousin said those are pre rare). And, also, have a good structure to ur answers, I know at sheffield, I felt like i just waffled on but had no structure so watch out for that. :biggrin:

No problems. :biggrin:

Yeah, the book helped way more than my counselor. She had no clue about how a standard interview is conducted. :facepalm:

I am guessing its really good for some unis and its a bit of luck too, Sheffield supposedly has really friendly interviews but mine was stressful and pressured. Just prepare the basics and hope for the best is prob the best interview advice. :smile:

mine was bad in all aspects.regarding uni applications :facepalm:

Yeah, same, for Canadian universities, none of us can get early acceptance and now its more competitive because she forgot to upload the marks and my class size is only 12 students. :facepalm:

Aw, poor you but it did turn out well. :wink:
