Twinkle... what are u applying for? I'm learning so much from this forum... crazy

Posted from TSR Mobile

I was actually thinking of applying for this program next year, (currently a 2nd year biomedical student), prefrebly for heamotology! but they dont even have any vacancies for it this year...dont know if it'll turn up in 2014

Never thought it would actually be this competitive! Might be tough for me considering I have no experience and having no luck in finding a work experience place too

Anyways Good luck to you guys!

Experiences don't really matter too much, its desirable. There were people who got into this course straight after undergrad. which shows its all about how dedicated you are and if you have the personal spec. that matches what they are looking for. So, in order to do well in this selection procedure you need a really good score in the aptitude test (Important) and have a decent personal statement (ans to the Qs). And in the interview they mainly going to ask Qs based on what you wrote down for those Qs.

Oh okay really...thats great then, gives me some hope!
By the way how long does the actual application take? You can go back to the ques later cant you or are the essay ques timed?!

Many of the training posts have historically been filled by internal candidates so I think relevant experience is quite important to an extent.

oh damn! not sure how I am suppose to get work experience when thier not willing to take me on in the first place due to 'limited resources'

No Sofia... I meant they ask you why your applying to the chosen field, but then don't you have to do this three times?? As we have three options

Urghh
