King's College Medicine applicants 2014 entry

You can have my interview haha! I'm so scared I don't want to gooo

Hey, congrats on the interview, can I ask how you're preparing for it, I have no idea, this will be my first interview haha

Thanks man, that makes me feel a bit better. Do you think it's just random selection then? There seems to be no real order to the offers e.g., some people still have no interview invitations with 800+ UKCAT or 10A*+ GCSEs etc.

Hey whens yours? mine's on the 5th and i"m so scared just done some research on kings and some generic interview reading of ethical questions and preparing answers to 'why medicine' 'why not a nurse' questions... what about you?

Essay question?! First time hearing about that

What will happen on the day

You should report for your interview at least 40 minutes before it starts. When you arrive you will be registered and given two preliminary tasks

Task 1: You will be handed a brief ethical case study to read and consider, you will be asked about this as part of the interview and selection process

Task 2: You will be given an essay question to answer, this essay will not be marked on the day but may be taken into consideration later to differentiate candidates who score very similarly in the interview. The essay question will be about the values and attributes of doctors, you will not need any advanced knowledge or preparation.

You will have 15 minutes to complete each of these tasks. As it is important that interviews run to time, late arrival may reduce the time available for completion of the preliminary tasks. Your interview will be with members of clinical and academic staff and will last around 15-20 minutes.

Thanks for the info! At least I can expect this tomorrow. Good thing I memorised the principles of being a doctor and the guidelines set by the GMC.

Some people here talking about lower UKCAT people being first make me sick. Is that the kind of logic you use to explain why you don't have an interview? There are people who have worked incredibly hard to get an interview and there is no need to undermine their academic ability to make yourself feel better.

I don't think that's the intention bud, people are just trying to work out how things are being worked out, so it's all speculation really. Everyone's worked really hard, and no one really knows how kings are doing it, so I doubt any offence was intended. Congrats to those with interviews though, and good luck!

Haha don't be nervous! You have 1 in 2 chance of getting an offer, according to last year's stats, so you're in a great position. As long as you show confidence and speak well, then they'll select you.
