My interview is 12:50pm on the 18th as well, the closer it's getting the more nervous I am!

Ok cheers mate. I will have a think about it but i'm solely wanting to do a life science course just for access to postgrad dentistry so is this quite a tough course? I quite like the sound of it though and seems very interesting.


There are easier courses you could do before going for postgrad dentistry! It is a Masters degree in 4 years. It is tough if you want a distinction but it's good fun too.

Hey! Here's a question for the Scottish applicants. Do you know what Glasgow are likely to offer people after the interview? If we are lucky enough to get an offer will it be a conditional on advanced highers??

How did people's interview go today ? ?

Would you say it is simillar to that of dundee ?!
Reply 86
I'd say it was quite similar because of the role play scenarios and such, what did you think?

yep, some questions were difficult ( Don't want to go into detail just incase !) .

Do you know when we will hear from them ? They say in March, however when in March ?
Also, any idea of how many interviews have been given out ?

Lol! I think I know which questions you are talking about! They said March but they also said because this is the first time their using the system it could be earlier than March or late March as they don't know how long they will take. I think it was roughly 200 interviews, not sure though

This wait is going to feel like an eternity!

Would be great if it was earlier than March, that would mean we would hear in the next week! Something tells me though that might not be the case!!

No idea, sorry. When we got the little presentation and the person said 'any questions' I would have liked to ask all these, but don't want them to think we are nagging haha!

Have you heard from anywhere else? Still waiting on Dundee too! Argh :s-smilie:

I hope they do! When I had my interview back in January they said late feb, but I think they wer just a bit optimistic at the time!

I've had interviews at Newcastle and Queen Mary, but I'd like to stay in scotland if at all possible!!

Thank you for the info. I have already applied for anatomy and got the unconditional. I think anatomy won't be as tough and i will enjoy it. Now just waiting on the dental school replies.

I emailed them back in September about advanced higher because i wanted to take 4. i thought it would give me an advantage but they said it wont so i just dropped one.
As for offers, they said that 'if an offer is made, it is most likely that there will be conditions so it is best to lighten your workload'.

So yes, there will be conditions; however, for scottish medicine applicants, they receive either a rejection or an unconditional.
