Yeah same I guess, hard to tell because whenever you look back at the interview you always think of loads of better stuff you could have said haha! I dunno, some parts were ok, but some I think I was just babbling on! What time was yours?!


Yeah exactly, I now feel I could have said so much more! Hoping the rest of my application can play a part too but don't know if it does after interview? Mine was 4pm, you?

Yeah I hope they do, I feel my work over a few years is equally, if not more, reflective of myself then one 15min chat :smile: Ohh I didn't even notice! I know there were holidays, but they said we would hear back within 2-3 weeks! So taking away the holiday period, we should be hearing back real soon (this week I assume) :eek:

I have had a look at their 6 year course but that says that you should have not attended a selective sixth form and not school. I currently do attend a selective sixth form.

Are you sure about the selective school thing?



aaah bummer... When I looked at it when I was looking at my options last yr it said you can't have taken your GCSE's at a selective school. Maybe they changed it since. I'm really sorry to hear that :frown: BUT Do you go to a non grammer, (soz scuse the spelling, little dyslexic) non private school? Because St Georges love that! and more if your not an Asian girl. Before anyone has a go at that comment it IS true. I was told by a Heart surgeon at UCL Heart hospital who is a part of the UCL selection process that Georges had a seperate interview day for asian girls to compete between themselves because they are the majority group receiving offers. Hope that rant helps :colondollar:

Woah that's shocking! It might be true but there should be equal competition between applicants, regardless of their ethnicities.
Hi all, I've been invited for an interview on this Wednesday. Just wondering, how do you upload the scans of your certificates and all that onto their portal? Thanks
You message KCL using the portal with the scans as an attachment :smile:

Also could the people who have interviews tomorrow kindly clear up the interview format for the New Year batch? Whether it's a questionnaire or an essay or both.. Thank you very much! :smile:

Ah, awesome, thanks :smile: do you reckon it'll be alright if I send each one individually? It says the files are too big to send even 2 at a time.
Yeah I'm guessing that'd be fine, they all come through from the same account anyway!

Yh that's exactly what all the surgeons were saying. I don't quite understand how they get away with it if it is in fact true but tbh I trust what this doctor says because I watched him do so many open heart surgeries and he's a freaking Don so I ain't gonna question it. :biggrin:
