Just for people to see who else may be at their interview...has anyone got a BSMS interview coming up..and for those that have had them...any advice?

[i'm no superman]

Have you got one for February then?

I still haven't heard a thing from BSMS. I guess I'll know where I stand with them soon since they're announcing all decisions (interview, reserve list, rejection) within the next three weeks.

Relax. They're very friendly, and dont try trip you up. I actually had a great day when i had my interview, as you get to talk to staff and current students for hours to calm you down before hand. Just prepare the usual stuff and you'll be fine!

This exactly.
Preparation wise, just do the usual stuff: make sure you're up to date with medical news, know your Personal Statement inside out and back to front, and make sure you are fairly familiar with the course Good luck!

Have mine for the 4th of February, see you there maybe.

I wonder is it better to do the tour or have an interview first?

Unfortunately, you dont get the choice! We had the tour first, some talks, an IT demo thingy then a pre-interview chat for about 2 hours then my interview!(mine was the last interview of the day). It depends what interview group you're in though, as to what order you do these in.

Good luck!

I did last year but not this year

Any advice...what was the thing most people slipped up on at the interviews?

[randdom]

I can't really say.

All I will advice is that you know your personal statement, you know what you have done and what you have learnt from your work experience and that you have read up on an area of medicine/a recent news story.

Its the same advice that everyone gives but that is because it really is the best thing that you can do
