The ...It feels as if Im the only one waiting for a medical interview thread

Although I've read a number of last year s threads and also about how difficult people found it as interviews were given out , Im really surprised how hard the waiting is ...and let s face it ..it s only just begun !!
With 60 % of med applicants reportedly not receiving an interview( though I know that s not true of TSRians!! ) think Im going to need to find a balance between trying to keep things low key and yet prepping for a possible interview without developing that well known disease RSOTRYECF ( Repetitive Strain of the 'Refreshing Your Emails Constantly' Finger!!)

Is it just me ? Or are there others out there thinking these next few months are going to be endless??

It's nice to know I'm not the only one with a recently developed obsession with checking my emails I'd be okay if none or one of my unis were giving out interviews at this point but now 3 of mine are! Guess I'm just going to have to be patient.

already? where av you applied?

Yep! I've applied to Birmingham, King's and Newcastle (all of whom have started giving out interviews) as well as Sheffield You?

Durham, Oxford, Cardiff, Bristol.
Newcastle give interviews solely on UKCAT, so if you got a good score your virtually guaranteed an interview i think...

wow! so I'm not the only one hehe I feel EXACTLY the same, i'm trying to force me not to check the unis' portals every day but it's almost impossible. Also I'm trying not to fool myself and hope too hard for interviews (so not to feel extremely bad in case of rejections) but man, it's so difficult

Just so you know ucas and particularly those portals aren't reliable for updating on time in regards to interviews. In fact I'm mot even sure ucas shows interviews...anyway point is, if you're gonna check something make it your email and don't forget the junk folder!
