Thanks, yes i did Bit nervous now though.

Interview 14th Dec!

I am applying for Medicine, however, after reading this, I feel so scared now. And especially, once you read the comments, EVERYBODY agrees with it.

Once you read it and the comments of current students, you'll be so so worried and doubting your decision to do Medicine.

The page doesn't work but I just wanted to say, my goal is to become a doctor. My determination is what would get me through the lows of med school. No matter how low they are. So no, as assumptive as it is, I don't think it would doubt my decision to study medicine.

OomG! Im like excited and nervous at the same time.

And I'm like getting really bad grades in my mocks, so Ive gor pressure coming from there and now extra pressure due to the interview on the 14th......its too soon, I havnt prepared at all, and I'm like a snail, It takes me ages to prepare for something properly.

Hi and well done on getting an interview!

I haven't got one so I can't tell you anything about that. But I totally understand your nervous stutter, and my advice for that is to just breathe! I know it sounds stupid, but if you count to ten and let yourself calm down, you can control your speech better when you can control your shakes and nerves.
If you can, get teachers you're comfortable with to interview you in a "formal setting" - it'll get you used to the atmosphere and help out.

Hope that (sort of) helps.

Hey well done, did u get a phone call from SOTON

does anyone know if they are they still notifying people about interviews on dec 14th or have they already told everyone ? I really want an interview lol

Interviews go on until the end of March! So we don't have to worry yet....

How exactly is your app scored e.g. 15 points for your ps, 5 for your reference and 20 for the interview?

"90. The best time of your entire medical school career is between the times when you first get your acceptance letter and when you start school."



90% of medics I have met suggested that I should not go into medicine, but rather dentistry/pharmacy/any other career (not on the basis that I won't cope but because they think they've made a mistake). And yet I'm here, having reapplied. Knowing that medical school will the epitome of 'work hard, and work harder'; I'll be treated like crap for the first couple of years of hospital and the pay for what I will apparently do is... minimal. It's very difficult to pinpoint an exact reason as to why I want to become a doctor. I suppose it's the very fact that it has all those different emotions, characteristics and attributes combined that you won't find in any other career. It's idea that one day, all that effort spent running around after residents and studying in medical school will pay off when you see a patient smile or heal. It's the concept that you're part of something so fundamental to humanity; you ensure that the world turns. Without our health, we wouldn't have the capacity to go to work, enjoy our time with friends, study and experience the world. Admittedly, 'helping people' wasn't what mainly interested in me in medicine but rather the experience as a whole, the good and the bad. And I know very well that when most medical students tell me to not enter the profession because of their regrets; the underlying truth is that they would have it no other way.

Wow. I have no idea why I splurged that out. Man, I'm lonely.



I wish every applicant here the best and please focus on your exams!
