Barts and The London medicine applicants 2014

Got an interview next tuesday. I'm not too worried about it in terms of prepration but it's still quite daunting. I've already had an interview with king's (waiting for a reply) so I already have some experience for this year but my interview felt too relaxed.

I'm worried about if they ask me why I chose barts ,I only chose it because it was the other london that wasn't asking for the BMAT or GAMSAT as I would be only be considered for the grad programme at St george's.

Did anyone get the question why barts?

Well it's the one interview but there will be 3 interviewers on the panel. After that, it's either offer or rejection sometime in March. :wink:

Have many non Bart's graduates been offered interviews either for a100 or a101 ??? I am a bit worried now .. I know last year a lot of graduates had an interview near end of January but most had 2 weeks notice ... Really bricking it ?

Welcome back buddy, I knew your stats looked to good to be rejected by Barts. Did they miscount some of your UCAS points by any chance?

Yeah I guess the website would be the best place to start.

It's the A100 programme, I was thinking of doing the A101 but decided otherwise. My UKCAT was 740.

I applied for A101 and haven't heard anything. Doesn't look like many graduates for A101 have heard...

I'm worried about the potential 752 cut off posted a few days ago via an email someone rcvd from them!

Umm yeah, basically they thought that two of my qualifications were Level 2 rather than Level 3 because I did them at school, so they weren't listed with my AS Levels and things. They said in the email that I have an interview and I'll get an email ten days before it to give me the exact date and time and stuff.

I don't think people with high tariffs should get too excited about this though- they made it clear in the email that this was an isolated event and they'd offered me the interview after scrupulous analysis of the new information I gave them. I'm just hoping that this whole palaver won't disadvantage me in any way :smile:
