BSMS Medicine Applicants 2012

Great, so IF I get an interview in Feb, half the places will have been filled.

Just means I'll have to smile extra hard!

does anyone know if that's it for before christmas interview wise? like if we haven't heard yet, we won't hear until the new year?

I would imagine so. BSMS state that they hold interviews in November and February, and I can't see them giving any more interviews out for November now!

As for when we will hear, rejections may come throughout the christmas period, (what a lovely present that would be), but as for interviews, I don't think there is much point holding your breath until after new year.

They don't necessarily do them in chronological order, it could be based on where you are from, UKCAT score (with highest scoring first) or could be those with the highest scores on each part of the selection procedure who are interviewed first.

ah i see, i thought it was in order of when you esent your applicaqtion as most people who applied early seem to be getting interviews and ones who applied in october havent heard yet

if it makes you feel any better I havent heard anything yet
its scary stuff!

How academic are the BSMS interviews, are they mainly personal qualities for medicine? Thanks

I don't know what the ratio of November offers to February offers is, but if it is half and half as you speculate, then you are no more disadvantaged! They have 4 interview dates in each... so they must interview the same amount in November as February... so if half are given in each, well I'm sure you can do the maths!

Everyone has a decent chance once you get an interview. They are incredibly fair and friendly

I can't say much, but they are mainly oriented toward finding out your personality. There is some small element of academic knowledge because they are interested in a strong scientific base for medics.

Those of you that've received an acknowledgement - how did you get it? Post? E-mail?
I have received nothing as yet Called BSMS up and they send they don't send out acknowledgements - it's all done by track.

I've been offered an interview at BSMS for this Saturday. Has anyone else? And has anyone received interview offers from anywhere else? I'm panicking.
