St. Andrews Medicine Applicants 2011 :D

Well your doing better than what I did last year!!
I have to say I've been rather lucky this year, I got interviewed at peninsula and got an offer, BSMS rejected me after my interview. I was interviewed at Manchester in decemebrr and there still making me wait!!! :/
St Andrews is my last interview an also my top choice, I soooo want to get in there, I'm scared like you as well because I don't think I'm strong enough academically and so I think I won't get a high enough score
When did St Andrews interview you?

Were you expecting a rejection from BSMS cos' I had an Aberdeen interview yesterday and felt it went OK overall but I messed up like 2-3 questions
I answered all of the questions, but they didn't have any structure, but take the stuttering out and I think my answers would have been reasonably decent otherwise.

arghhh....dont know what to think of it

Same situation for my St. Andrews interview mate, I would guess the majority of candidates that the universities interview like this. I'm just hoping the answers I gave between my stuttering were enough.

Yes and no, I gave some good answers to the questions but I made a really bad mistake on the why medicine questions and so I think that got me rejected hha, they kinda criticised me as well when I said I thought medicine was fast pased. I think it was because it was my first one I was nervous as well and I realised that I kept licking my lips hahaha what an idiot!! Also it depends of the interviewers, some may like you, others not, when I got rejection feedback one of them gave me the highest mark while another one gave me the middle mark, it's often down to luck :/
You can never tell though, I thought my peninsula one went awfully and yet they made me an offer :/

nice for getting an offer! 25th of January I think, when's yours?
I think I'm going to have to wait until the end of March now until I hear back, good or bad

Thanks
Mines on the 16th feb, are you scottish or english then?
Well i dont mind waiting as long as i get an offer hahaa

I just had my interview and I never could've imagined such a wonderful interview as the one I had!!!! My interviewers were just amazing!!! I'm hoping for the best, if I do somehow manage to get an offer, I'd definitely firm it!!!

It was definitely like a chat, sometimes serious, sometimes having a laugh It was great!!!

Why what's wrong with Sheffield?

Well done! That's how I felt after my interview, I made them laugh a couple of times aswell Is St Andrew's your first choice?

Scottish, fortunately my broad Glaswegian accent doesn't come across when I type

They were sooo nice!!! Well, I just recently decided that I prefer St Andrews over my other choices so I do hope that I get an offer from there! If not, at least I have Sheffield to fall back on I would be absolutely ecstatic if I got an offer though

I just wanted to sit there and talk to them for ages, especially to the student, he actually KNEW what my summer research project was about, I was impressed! The woman was nice too

All in all, it was just great Is it your first choice?

Its so nice to hear you liked the interview so much, im really looking forward to mine now!!
Im curious now, what was your research project on?

I won't write my entire thesis since it just bores people out and noone understands anyway... but I can say that we mainly investigated on the effects on the dna-methylation pattern when you don't have a functional B-WICH chromatin remodeling complex as its WSTF component is suppressed... In other words, a lot on dna-methylation, chromatin remodeling and histone-methylation.

Good luck on your interview! Hope they treat you well too

Wow, that went over my head haha. Thanks

hahaha at least you were interested and actually read whatever I wrote xD some stop at "research project" xD hahahaha

It's because I'm nosy and inquisitive haha
Also because I did a research project myself, no where near the league of yours though!!
Are you a graduate?

I am looking fordward to my interview too now!!
