King's College Medicine applicants 2014 entry

Oh sorry to hear - but then again, I think you can't tell hugely how it actually went in the eyes of the interviewers so keep positive
Well I don't know if it actually went well, I felt good when I was in there but they may have not liked me/felt differently etc. I feel like you never really know with interviews!

hey just wondering if you scanned just alevel and gcse certificates or sent your work experience and other ones too? did you just scan them or take in photocopies too?

I scanned in my GCSE and A Level certificates and sent them through the portal. I didn't take them with me - I did check with the receptionist that they'd received them and she confirmed they had (though I think you have to take them if you don't manage to scan them in). I don't think KCL want work experience references/evidence, just qualifications.

great! thanks for your help! btw how did you check with the receptionist? did you call them?

How come they asked you for a second reference anyway? I only sent one with my Ucas application.

Although it does say on the portal they require 2 references!? Can someone clear this up please, I hope I haven't made a boo boo!

The SHAs have also been abolished
CCGs commission all healthcare services apart from GP services
GPs are part of the CCGs and receive 60% of the NHS budget
NHS England commission GP services
However, the PCTs used to receive 80% of the NHS budget
Many redundant jobs were gotten rid of in the reforms, including managerial/accounting jobs which have now been incorporated into the job of a GP, who have not received a pay rise.

same

SAME!

ok guys i had the retired GP too and the woman and i really think they hated me, it was one of the worst/vaguest interviews yet. dont worry i think we're all feeling the same

Does anyone know how long till we hear back after the interviews? I know they say 2-3 weeks but does that mean I might be waiting till jan? I had my interview today! Thanks

How did it go?also how long was your essay?

I read on last years thread about someone receiving an offer 2 days after there interview

Pretty much like everything else being said on the thread, they were really vague i have no idea what they thought of my tbh! im so worried but all we can do is wait now
The essay was not what I expected it to be, I felt really rushed but I managed to get something down in time, it was the first side and a few lines on the second side not too long... really dno what to expect anymore

I had an interview last Wednesday and I got an email today saying my portal had been updated...heart starts palpitating, hands trembling..."please upload copies of your passport and alevel certificates as we are unable to process your application until we have received these"
Lol what a let down

Stay positive. Maybe they want the certificates so they can make you an offer

Why do you think they hated you? And how was it vague?

I'm even more nervous now:-(
