Like all the other applicants who got interview today, whose interview is in December, but mine is in January. Just wondering why they're so generous that give me a month and half for preparation. :confused:

i got an interview for january too. It just means more time to prepare so be happy :biggrin:

unfortunately mine is a few days before my exams but I guess I need to get used to this kind of pressure if I want to be studying medicine :tongue:

This is the advantage for being in the gap year-no exam, nor study pressure! :tongue:

I've gotten an interview for glasgow, and my ukcat score was 655. i've average GCSE's as well, so i'm sure you'll hear something soon, so long as you worked hard on a solid personal statement.

It seems that everyone who has been interviewed is from England or beyond. Maybe they want to get these applicants interviewed before the weather gets any worse as they would perhaps be unable to get to Glasgow.

does everyone over within the top 800 threshold definately get an interview?? and have all interviews been given out? I got 2712/678 but havent recieved a letter, saying that the post hasent been able to access my house since friday due to snow so im really apprehensive.

To everyone whos preparing for their interview, best of luck!

Thought youd be a good person to ask :smile:

With 677.5 avg UKCAT, and not very amazing gcses at all, do i have a chance to get to the interview stage?
thanks :colondollar:

Yeah I'd say so! My gcses are 1 A* 4 A (and 1 A was resat from a B)
However I am hardly in the know.

They tell everyone at the same time in march. This is if you've been interviewed. Without interview is anytime from now onwards I guess.

Christ! It's so painfully close. I have a score of 650 so will be totally borderline. The only thing Is I am going for deferred entry so I'm not sure if i'm judged by this years cut off score or the predicted score for next year (which will undoubtedly be higher again).

Haven't heard anything yet but I am hoping this is either due to postal problems or the fact they maybe interview deferred entry candidates later on in the cycle?

I'll keep you all posted. If I get a rejection then we can assume 650 was the cut off score.

couldn't possibly wish for someone like you more right now! :smile:

. All I know about the interview is there are 2 panel members. Anything else? Like any tips? What kinda question do they ask the most? What criteria's are you assessed on?
