I hope so haha, I was mortified!


If worst comes to worst and he is on the interview panel, at least you'll have something to talk about :P

Don't fret! I've been told my an ex-interviewer that you are not allowed to be interviewed by ANYONE you have met or talked to prior to meeting them in that room :smile: So basically, you could just say "I've met him" and he HAS to leave the interview/can't be part of the selection process :biggrin:

Haha, I may have to use that to my advantage if I manage to get one. Thanks!

What the hell?! :frown:

That must have been a little disconcerting. But as others have said, he probably won't be involved in interviewing. However, just to be on the safe side, keeping slipping his mum/dad extra biscuits while mentioning your name, at least until the interview season is over :biggrin:

Where? Good luck, you'll smash it! I had my first a couple of days ago, and have another in a couple of weeks, so this month for me is generally a busy one aha. I found if you stay calm it's easier to give it your best.

Are you already there? If you're travelling from far away I'd maybe set off earlier than you were planning, we've had flooding all along the East Coast :smile:

My journey is 5 hours ish but I think I've left enough time!! I've got over 2 hours leeway so hopefully I'll be alright :s-smilie: I'm trying to leave as early as possible but I'm lucky that my interview isn't till the afternoon! Thanks for the advice

I'd rather not say :/ I know I sound like a right tool :tongue: but I don't want to be 'tracked down' by friends etc as there are only a few people that have interviews at each time!! Is yours tomorrow?? Might see you there if yours is in the afternoon!

Absolutely loved it,the atmosphere everything so glad I applied. I think I have better chances else where though. Lots of effort was put into personalising it. I loved the medical school, the town and the feel of the place. Your very lucky. Only slight negative was my mum leaving her wallet on the train which was a bit of a panic but we got it back. How you finding it now been there for ages now ?


Sorry for the late reply - it's exam season so I'm limiting TSR-time to one check a week.

It's great, thanks! All of the staff - from the lecturers to the demonstrators to even the admin - are all absolutely lovely. The people in charge of the first year curriculum are wonderful. Once I emailed one of them at 8pm on a Friday and didn't expect a reply until Monday morning at the earlier and he replied within five minutes.. and it was about missing a compulsory practical due to me having booked a train and then the timetable changed. Instead of being annoyed at me, he commended me for saving money by booking early, told me to have a safe trip and put on an additional session so I didn't miss it!

Plus the town is lovely. I won't lie, I do find it a bit small at times - but I get out enough so it's not an issue for me. I see my boyfriend every two weeks, so on the weekends he's up we'll go to Dundee or something and when I'm down there it's nice to be in a city.. but maybe that's just me.

I'm not sure on what your stats are, but I wish you the best in getting an interview. The first batch was on Monday and they all came in looking so nervous (some people looked a bit ill / faint), but looking on the St Andrews thread after and it seems they think it went well. No doubt due to the lovely interviewers.
It's funny because when you're being interviewed, it's easy to forget that they're just normal people. I was sat in the canteen watching them all go through and prepare, and there wasn't one who I thought 'ooh, I'd not want them interviewing me'.

Well we've managed 10,000 posts in our first thread (bit crazy I think) so there's no reason as to why we can't do it again.

We've all officially applied so best of luck to all year 13s and all other medicine applicants.

im Sure you did better than you think :biggrin: mine went ok, some pretty damn shaky bits but also some decent bits; mixed bag really! Not sure if it was good or bad :/

the waiting room was so ominous!! Everyone silent and scared was a little disconcerting! Everyone was friendly though :smile: who were your interviewers?
