I heard otherwise from the interviewers themselves. The pms wishes to interview a large amount of students and they still cannot find the staff to do it!

four people are required for the panels (usually 3 as someone is bound not to turn up): A doctor, an admissions staff, a student, and I am ashamed to say [and i quote] "A blind one armed disabled black lesbian" ( :s-smilie:

)to fulfill the political correctness issues.

finally got my interview letter! it was posted out 1 wks ago...19th@exeter! (stupid post)

Where do you live?

IM CONFUSED!!!!

Do PMS ask 'standard' questions like why doctor, not nursing, spare time activites, questions on ur PS, etc. ????

Or is the interview just on one ethical issue and the 'standard' stuff is on the questionnaire??

Sorry to soudn stupid.
Thanks.

no, they do ask proper questions - though they love to place an emphasis on ethical questions. It is whether you answer these properly and honestly (dont be afraid to say "i dont know yet"!!).

thanks danesh

i had mine today cant believe they make a decision 10 mins after you leave the interview room and then tell you in jan if you got an offer..i wanna know now!!`

I don't think theres students on the panel, in fact im nearly sure of it. They wont ask you 'why do you want to do medicine', but the answer to that will probably be subtly teased out during the ethical scenario. Just be prepared to think on your feet.

Iceman how did it go?
Did they only ask you ethical questions?
And about how you felt?

Tell me, what was the format of the day? How was the "team based" exercise, and more specifically what was it?! :smile:

There was no team based exercise at my interview, which was last week. I think they've got rid of that. :confused:

We went and registered, then had to wait around for ages. Then there was a v quick talk about the interview. Then more waiting. Then interview, which was about 20 mins and based on ethical scenario (chocie of 3). Apparently everyone is asked exactly the same questions. 3-4 people on interview panel (I had 3). Then more waiting. Then quick tour. Didnt see much, probs wouldn't bother staying for this bit, unless you want to talk to the current students. Basically a lot of waiting. I actually quite liked that, cos it made me less nervous. I was so fed up by the time it got to the interview that I was actually alosmt looking forward to it lol. Was also good to have lots of time to talk to other people applying, some of them were lovely. :biggrin:

Overall it was quite a good experience....I really hope I get an offer! :s-smilie:

But then so does everyone else.
