    You applied when you were 15?! :O Or by underage do you mean under 18? I was still 16 when I applied and I agree it was a nightmare finding stuff that I could do, but luckily for a lot of things you had to be 16, rather than 18
    Well I was 15 when I was looking for work ex but had turned 16 by the time I applied- in my county you have to be 17 for any hospital work ex- and by the time I was 17 I had 2 offers so it seemed pointless during exams. Thinking of going back to do some now I've finished though

    For me I would say the waiting, or possibly nailing the PS. I didn't really do any interview prep, but if I had I imagine that part would have been tiresome and stressful... the interviews themselves aren't that bad (waiting to go into the rooms however is awful :P ) but once you get in there an get into the swing of things its just a conversation really!

    I'm not the type of person that gets stressed/nervous easily so there wasn't a time i could say i was particularly emotionally but if i had to pick something i'd go for choosing which med schools to apply to initially. Some very tough choices; a few regrets maybe!

    Being rejected and then reapplying. Sooooo much self-doubt creeps in
