I got interview on 10th Jan. Got chemistry exam on 11th so i rescheduled. They offered me 24th Jan . On internet threre was a website showing exam dates, I must have misread it and saw 25th Jan as an exam date for Biology, so I thought that I may cope and accepted the 24th Jan , after all I had made them reschedule before.My Biology teacher told me its the 24th Jan, so ive just had to email Jane Smith asking her to reschedule again. Am I gonna look bad, careless etc? I fhtey give me another chance.

Another thing is that on the reschedule card there were only two options unlike the first card:
-I can come on the 24th
-I am no longer interested

Does this this that a further reschedule wont be available?

hey i got an offer from nottingham...dunno what is yet tho...nottingham said in the letter they would let me know via ucas...odd! anyway interview wise i was first asked with emphasis on my personal statement why i wanted to do pharmacy.
next was asked about my personal qualities. moving on to science based questions was next. asked why injecting insulin is better than giving someone a insulin tablet to swallow. then asked what insulin is about proteins and amino acids...not as hard as it seems.
next i was asked to draw if i wanted a peptide link and how it arises...so easy!
finally i was asked about extra cirricular stuff i do! at the end of the interview the interviewer was really impressed with me and said you should definitly hear from us soon and that i would make a good pharmacist...thanks!!
so over all a really friendly interview and the setting was relaxing as well.

hope this helps for others who have interviews coming up at nottingham.

I've just got back from Nottingham and I absolutely loved the place.

It was a wierd interview really. A Dr. just drew out a random drug which he said he made up, told me about it and asked if i could identify the functional groups. Then he asked why it the drug soluble, what makes it stable, why is part x more stable than part y, he threw in a trick question too as while he was talking, he said that hydrogen was more electronegative than nitrogen - which he was glad i picked up the fact he was wrong.

Then he asked me why pharmacy and not medicine/vet/dentistry etc, why nottingham and that was it.

All in all very good and I really hope to get an offer.
