Hi

I have an interview on the 8th of December.
In the letter that they send you online, they say they ask you a lot about current medicines in the news. Did they ask you that?

Or was it just the standard questions like:
- Why Pharmacy?
- Skills needed by a pharmacist
- Why LSOP?

Are there any questions you remember them asking?

Thanks :smile:


How was your interview? what were the questions like? and i see that yours was a month ago, have you received an offer yet? :smile:

I'm not sure how tough the requirements are actually. Hehhh! I'm an IB student, so it's definitely different for you. Since you took the As.

Hahaha! Well, that's one way of looking at it. I really wanted to go to LSoP cause it's in LONDON.


so they called you in for an interview and all is it? what kind of questions did they ask? (: did you apply for any other scholarships!

ohyes, how long did it take for lsop to reply you? because it's currently my only choice left who hasn't even acknowledged receiving my application :/ my friends who applied for ucl (not sure if it'd be under the same system now?) haven't heard anything for 3 months!

I'm a medicine applicant and I got an unconditional offer a few days ago. I'm on a gap year and already have my A levels and the guy who interviewed me told me at the time "unofficially" that i would be offered a place in March. I was so surprised to hear this early.

Have you had an interview and is Pharmacy your 1st Choice?

If I don't get any med offers I will definitely come here. I really liked it.
Offer from UCLSOP! they sent me a letter saying that most of the people would be told in march but because i was an exceptional candidate *sigh* the wanted to tell me earlier!

it came as a bit of a suprise!

Good luck peeps!

(im a medic gap year with A*AA achieved)

I'm a medicine applicant too, so pharmacy is my fifth choice ... I got an unconditional offer, but because I got this letter today saying that most people would hear back in march, I was wondering if all medicine and dentistry applicants will hear early because they sent off their ucas earlier than everyone else.. I'm on a gap year too but i'm resitting one chemistry module in 2 weeks .. where did you apply for medicine? and have you had any interviews yet?

Yeah, I think that's what they are doing because we applied earlier and we've got grades.

I've been interviewed at Liverpool, rejected fron Brighton and still waiting on Barts and Keele. I have reconciled myself to study Pharmacy if I am unsuccessful again this year. I don't want to spend another year doing this. I want to get on with my life. I did a weeks work exp in a hosp Pharmacy department last year, and came away really interested though I don't think I would want to go into retail Pharmacy.

Best of luck to you.

Yuppp, they called me for an interview a few days after I applied. I was really surprised actually, wasn't sure I'd even get the interview. I didn't apply for any other scholarships cause there weren't many that caught my interest. They asked about my interests, mostly focused on my PQ that I submitted. Talked a bit about my CCA, about what I know of pharmacy, asked me about my stand on euthanasia. It wasn't too long. But there were like 10-12 people, so pretty daunting.

LSOP replied me at the beginning of december. But it was about 2 months plus after I submitted my application at the end of September. I'm not sure if you need to be worried cause they didn't even contact me to ask for anything.
