medicine interview went badly...terrified of being rejected again!

now i'm getting worried about any interviews i might get invited to. I show signs of nervousness too usually (my ears go bright red in a flash). But, ever since i got a rejection from St george's (the entry requirements advertised on the open day was totally misleading) i've realised that medicine is really tough to get into and would require every ounce of mental strength a person has, so i've learnt nervousness would be a disadvantage and am in the process of getting rid of it, step by step.

Hopefully you'll get a few more chances at your other choices. If its your nervousness that's getting in the way get more practise. Usually schools and 6th form's have teachers who are willing to give mock interviews. One helpful tip maybe to make them put a lot of pressure on you in the interview and ask you confusing questions so that you get used to the setting and feel less nervous and confused in the real thing.

this is really true. it has taken so much out of me. the constant rejection and the feeling of not being good enough while all your friends have gotten in and are telling you how good the course is is difficult. I am happy for them and am never bitter about their successes but is is hard to listen to their excitement when you are feeling so down. It is hard but it has really made me so much stronger and helped me learn from the bad things that happen in life and look to the future. It has been a real test for me as a person and made me realise how determined I am to achieve my dream of being a doctor.

I hope that I can learn from all the experiences that I get and hopefully one university will see something in me and admire my resilience and determination to study medicine.

'allo 'alli. ahhh, macca, do not worry, one rejection is not so 'orrible. 'owever, i 'ave 14 rejections and look at me i didnt turn out to be an 'alf-wit, did i.

so there is 'ope for you yet, 'alli.

You applied to medicine 4 times?

Hey,

I have applied for medicine for the second time after being rejected without any interviews last year. This year I have had one interview so far and have one coming up.

I am so unhappy with the way that the first interview went. I found it really difficult and I felt that the interviewers were really pushing me to the limits of my knowledge. It was my first ever uni interview and it so happened that was the uni that I really wanted to go to. I was so nervous that my voice shook at times during the interview and there were some questions that I didn't know the answer to. I could answer most questions but there were some wierd ones. I just can't decide whether it went well or not on the whole and am so worried that I blew my chance and that I won't get into medical school. It is the absolute worst feeling when you log into UCAS track and read the words "unsuccessful"

I have no idea what I will do if I get four rejections again this year as well and I didn't get into my back up choice. They have already rejected me. I feel so down about it and whenever I think back to the interview I get worried and anxious about the outcome.

Its hard to stay positive about it. I am so worried that I will end up doing a course which I will hate and end up in an awful job and be unhappy for the rest of my life wondering why I couldn't get into medicine.

What on earth can I do?

Thanks x
