St. Andrews Medicine Applicants 2011 :D

I know someone has probably already posted this but how many people do st andrews interview and how many places are there?

i think they interview around about 500, and there is 55 places for progressing to scotland, 85 for manchester.

Plus around 350 offers going out, which is the number that counts really, not the number of places.

will you need to bring proof of work exp etc with you?
it never said in the email but just checking incase

nope. i never got asked for proof of work experience

I can help you with the basic structure etc...

When the time starts you get taken to a small room with the other people in your group to read the given article. You get about 10 minutes or so (which is ample time).

Then you get taken into the interview rooms where they ask you questions for about 15-20 minutes. The time flies btw. The questions are pretty much what the website says: The St Andrews course, Previous experience (so pretty general average questions), and Ability to communicate tested on with the article. The article questions themselves are more of a problem-solving nature, and that's the area where you are allowed to shine (or fail dramatically ) because it allows the biggest scope in terms of you gearing the topics to suit your own interests.

Afterwards you get a choice to ask questions and then a tour of the new medical shiny school (which is awesome). Though, if like me you'd be too busy crying/shaking to really pay attention.

Hey guys, just a lil spoiler here. In case any of u are panicking and think its too late for an interview. We got an email, asking us if any of us could tour students after their interviews

Interview dates are as follows:
24 and 25 th January
2 Feb
9 Feb
16 Feb
23 Feb
2 Mar
9 Mar
18 Mar

Thanks! Not to panic anyone but some people in my school got the email a couple of days ago for an interview for the 2nd of march. So I'm guessing there's two more batches of interviews to be given?

Edit: Just looked back at some of the posts where people have been told about interviews for the 9th of march, so I'm guessing 1 more batch to be given out?

They seem to be giving out dates in a random manner, perhaps to gear the article we get given to each group (ie. graduates and school-leavers) perhaps? Although I think theres still a chance of getting an interview up until the 4th March as they normally give at least 2 weeks notice.

Has anyone ,who was interviewed in November, received an offer ?

getting a bit worried here .. however I guess , like they say, the majority of offers are going to be given out in March

on the medical stalking thread i remember seeing a couple of offers, but that'll probably just be the reeeally outstanding people who were definately going to get an offer. you'll probably hear once theyve interviewed everyone else i guess?

70% chance, really!? I don't wanna get my hopes up but sounds too good to be true!

I know I'm soo happy, Birmingham had the same ratio and I got in. Let's hope the same happens again. At what time is your interview by the way?
