Well done guys on the offers!!!! Keep them coming :biggrin:
I don't know if this is a good place to post this but I'm just wondering - should I bother reapplying if having really bad interviewing skills seem to be my only downfall?

I know it's still early on in the cycle and I haven't been rejected by anywhere (yet). I thought reapplying is only a good option for someone with say, 4 pre-interview rejections as they can really work on their applications to push them through to the next stage. Any reapplicant here with more than 2 interviews last cycle but still decided to reapply?

Hi I'm reapplicant who had 2 post interview rejections (Exeter and a waiting list from Barts) last year.

My downfall last year was that I was really nervous at interviews and as a result it made me really timid. It's something I've been working on all this year - my voluntary work has helped a lot by putting myself outside of my comfort zone.

With respect to you, I would say if you do get all rejections, reapply if you really want to do medicine and use your gap year to work on the interview skills. Also you never know, what felt like a bad interview to you might not be as bad as you think!

I had 2 post-interview rejections last year but one was at Oxford and some of the questions completely threw me! I didn't think I'd get an offer there anyway :smile:
Nottingham however... I don't understand why they rejected me as their feedback didn't go into any detail at all. So that makes me a bit worried for this year...

Hello, keep your fingers crossed at this point it's still early days. I had two post interview rejections last year and one thing i'd say is that getting a rejection is rarely a reflection of you as a person - if you're interview skills are one thing that's holding you back you can work on it, that's not something that means you won't be a great doctor.
Thought I'd join in here, where are you recognizing re-applying to? Also where finished you apply not long from now?

Thank you haha!

But yeah...wondering the same thing as cocaine up there (see what I did there Dr.Ugs?)... I just want to know everything, when are we getting the confirmation e-mail, when is the principal personally going to visit me and hug me and pat me on the back, when is the whole stopford building going to name a lecture theatre after me, etc?

I'm a bit excited obviously.

Wow, you must have really out done them then. Mine is next Wednesday :s-smilie: Feel like cramming information now with only a week left!
Well done on the offers guys! I've not been on the thread much since I've been working full time in theatres! So exhausting but definitely worth it :smile: I have an interview at Dundee on Friday which I hope goes better than my St George's one which went terribly (got a rejection). I don't think I like MMI but unfortunately all my uni choices are MMI :s-smilie:
