with info on when exactly my interview s the monday befiore
i got an interview aswell on the 29th, still waiting on the confirmation email,

do you guys have any idea what the interview will be like? not quiet sure whether the questions will be personal statement based, or more academic...

That's weird! I'd be tempted to ring and ask what's going on. I'd also ring UCAS just to check that they haven't sent your applications off to the wrong places.
There are occasional mix ups where people get rejected from a different course at a university that they applied to etc


thanks for that. Ive checked on ucas track and nothing changed and Durham is not one of my choices anyway.. ill ring them up tommorow to be sure

I had an interview with them last year. In terms of the format, it's quite informal. There are two interviewers, both of them were local doctors (although I think they can also be lecturers, med students etc) It lasted for about 20 mins or so.
Before you go in, you can have a chat with some current medics and ex-BM6ers and they really put you at ease and give you a bit of an idea about the course.
I'm not sure how much I can say about the interview questions, but I would say cover all bases. All the standard questions like 'why medicine' can be woven into your answers. I did get the impression that they wanted to get to know the real me, rather than the me that they have read about.

When did you get the phone call? I'm assuming they phoned you first?

I cant remember when but it was like around the 10th of jan and initially they wanted the interview to be held on the 18th of jan and i was like YAYY INTERVIEW, oh wait i have exams so after some re-scheduling shenaniganings they changed it to 8th of feb then for some reason 15th so woo , bm6 its pretty much my only hope of doing med..
