Barts interview!

Not fluffy?! Sorry I have a lecture 12-1 and PBL 2-4 that day. :p:

I'd say my interview wasn't PS based, they just asked me general questions about my work experience, why I'd be a good doctor, what I'd contribute to the uni etc. I think you have to watch a video at the start, then you're just asked your thoughts on it, it's really easy and relaxed. Dress smart obviously, and good luck.

Yeah, I agree with the above, I had an interview last friday with Barts, Its very friendly and relaxed. The questions are quite simple, they may ask you about ur PS, nothing to hard. The DVD they show you is nothing to worry about it, they just ask you what you thought about it. They are very nice and encourage you and keep you relaxed.

I'll be doing either rheumo or ortho at The London (or possibly Barts) so conceivably, I could be around...

Where is your interview? Old Medical College?

I just got of the phone with my friend who had an interview at Barts today at 2.30. He said it went well as well. They really help you to do your best there, they are just looking for your entusiasm to study medicine and to study it at Barts.

guys, do you think its a good idea to take my mother with me? i know im old enough to catch the train and travel on my own (done so before) but she would be able to give me a second opinion when choosing firm/insurance (if i get in) as she came with me to St George's and Cardiff too.

well, there shouldn't be any harm with it. On my interview at Barts, I was the only person in the waiting room without my parents :s-smilie:

For the love of all that is holy, don't take your mother with you.

Because I think the OP would be using her as a safety blanket.

Get some ****ing independence.

lol everyone can use support, its not about being dependent on someone. There are times that you need friends and family with you. Anyway, the OP said she wanted her mother there for a 2nd opinion on the Uni, thats hadly using her as a safty blanket huh?

Not wanting to meet me then? :wink:

Don't take your mum. It's your day to be independant and experience what it would be like yourself. Your mum might influence you in a way that goes against what you feel about your firm/insurance etc, this is a choice that's best left to you.
