Congratulations to all those who have been offered an interview!

Quick question, how will you all intend to prepare for the interview bearing in mind that you have just under two month's to prepare?

Thanks!

PS. still no word from Bham; and got my first rejection at KCL this weak–so really anxious!


I'm just going to do a lot of extra reading and make sure i compile a lot of knowledge on each of the sections in the interview and practice on reflecting on all my experiences as some I've done so long ago so i really need to think about what I've learnt etc

So are we hopeful of more invitations today?


I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but thinking that if I don't hear today it's a "no"

i also chose 12 pm - but on the monday. i hope our slot can still go on the tour....


Hi, I have the same interview slot as you...Mon 18th Jan at 12 midday :smile: I think the tour is at 2 and the MMIs should last under an hour so we should deff be able to go on the tour. If you don't mind me asking, what degree have you done? I have just graduated from pharmacy and now doing my pre-reg in hospital.

Also I was wondering if anyone knows whether Birmingham ask for a record of work experience like some of the other unis are doing.

I'm really hoping we do as i haven't actually seen the medical school or campus! i did a degree in biomedical science . pharmacy sounds good. if you want to message me or add me on Facebook let me know. we can maybe chat before interview and it would be good to have a familiar face on the day to ease the tension
Hey, for those with interview offers, has your UCAS track been updated yet?

Also, there should be more offers going out soon as they interview until Feb :smile:

Have any more offers gone out? I'm still waiting to hear and am trying to figure out whether to give up hope for this year and start prepping for the GAMSAT...

Hey guys, i've made a Facebook group for the Birmingham GEM 2016 entry (on the advice of a Brum medic friend) which would be useful for getting in touch, etc.

If you search "University of Birmingham GEC Medicine 2016" on fb :smile:

Does anyone know the rough start date for this course? The website just says "September" which isn't very helpful :/

i think thats just generic for universities to say the first of september. last year freshers was only mid september based on the 2015 thread but the graduate course may start earlier before freshers... not sure.
