Pharmacy at King's 2014

Not sure if anyone made a thread about Pharmacy at King's before but oh well.
Has anyone applied for Pharmacy at King's? If so, have any of you gotten interviews yet? I have one with King's on the 4th of December and am absolutely terrified!

Hi amina! I received an interview for the 11th December and I am absolutely terrified. I have no idea how to prepare or what they will ask. I heard they are doing OSCE's and group interviews?

I submitted mine about a month ago. You should check your King's portal cos they tell notify you whether you have an interview there. Yup Masuma they are doing OSCEs which sounded kinda scary after I googled them :/ basically what I understood for it is that you have different stations with different scenarios where your practical/clinical skills are tested out or something like that...I think for Pharmacy OSCEs they might do some ethical related scenarios. Oh btw I found a bunch of possible Pharmacy interview questions on the student room. Here's the link: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1373790
There are a load of questions but they look pretty helpful! Hopefully they'll give us something to work with before the interview.

That is actually quite frightening, maybe they will give us a scenario and ask us what we would do.. I don't think it will be too bad seeing as they won't expect us to know things that are too advanced. I'm going to PM you :-)

Oh the group interview was, alright-ish I guess. You kind of end up repeating each other because you're all thinking of similar points, but it's quite a comfortable atmosphere as everyone in your group is nervous like you. The interviewers weren't really intimidating, just serious. Do you have a King's interview too?

Don't worry about it, I was super terrified but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Besides, everyone gets a chance to speak in the group interview. When's your King's interview by the way? :smile:
