Funnily enough when I got to my interview I realised I had to go to the toilet for a pee but the toilets near the admissions office were locked. Had to run to the other side of the building.

Running around calmed me down though, or that could of just been because I was able to go to the toilet.

One thing though, the taps are kinda crazy, took me awhile to realise how they worked...ended up getting water on my suit. Thank god for waterproof trousers.


Thanks for the advice guys! And I'll try and keep that in mind - sounds like something I would end up doing lol :wink:

Yay! :smile: I still need to go through more NHS stuff and history of medicine in case they ask! PS questions are generally quite straight forward (usually anyway!)
Ahh good luck! Oxbridge interviews are... an experience haha, I had one at Oxford last year - 4 interviews in 24 hours D:
I have a SGUL interview three days after KCL and it's MMI so I'm scaredddd!

It depends on your college, I had oxford interviews and I was asked to analyse graphs on oxygen dissociation, talk about lots of data and my favourite was given a skull and was asked, 'tell me about this animal'.

I think Oxford and Cambridge interviews are pretty different wrt the structure and the content!
Ummm I got asked the standard questions (why medicine? Why Oxford? Why not nursing?) and they used my personal statement too. I remember being asked why humans have two ears, and also asked to discuss evolution. There was a question about opening a fridge in an empty room, and I got given a graph about 'worldwide problems'.
