Barts and The London medicine applicants 2014

Nope, last day is apparently the 26th! At this point, I am just going to assume I've been rejected until proven otherwise. (If my optimism was a 10 back in October, it's now down to a 0.1 :P)

Cepha, I'm sure you'll get one mate. With your stats you have to! :biggrin:

Judging on the updates these days, we can still expect invitations for the last date of interviews. Fingers crossed!

Do we get the article in the interview to refer to? or do we have to basically talk about it from memory?? And also, how do you think they'll ask about the article? do you think it'll be like 'tell me your thoughts' or more specific questions like 'what are the implications of this on the patient's family?'

The best thing to do would be to read the advice Barts have sent you with your email. :smile:

Well, how did other 3 interviews go?

I had two interviews.... and I don't know, I felt like one definitely went as disastrous as disasters can go (this is Dundee). With Glasgow, I thought it went quite well but the the more I reflect on some of the idiotic things I've said, the more I want to set my hair on fire. XP How are the rest of your applications going? :smile:

Massive congratulations on getting an invitation from Barts!!!

Oh PG, I don't know. Fingers crossed but I think I'll be okay if I don't get one. :smile:

Methinks 3/4 interview invites is good enough. If I really blow at interviews, which I am beginning to think I am, having one extra wouldn't make too much of a massive difference! I'll update you if I hear anything.

So you have 420 UCAS tariff, and 690 UKCAT?

Yeah I asked and they said that the majority of interview have been given out, but they said they are now interviewing people with total score below 1200 as there are not many applicants with 1200+. Good luck!!!! :smile:

Yeah, I was pleasantly suprised to get an interview, so I think they much look at non-acedemic too. Thanks ,you too :smile:

Congrats mate, were you part of their equality scheme? They reserve it for certain individuals who can't compete on the 460+ tariff points due to institutions policies or special circumstances.

Soo surprised I got an interview with them! My ucas tariff is only 420 compared to the hundreds others usually have. I've got 3 weeks to prepare, any tips anyone?

Hey, congrats! My tariff is similar - 430. Are you not part of the widening access scheme, then? :smile:

For anyone who's still waiting like me I just rang Barts up and they said that they still have interviews for the 24th 25th and 26th to give out and that they should reply to us by the end of this week.

Hmm that is odd, I was under the impression from the website everyone needed 460 UCAS tariffs or more unless you were on the scheme. Anyways I guess they must've really liked you then (PS, Reference etc.) good luck! :wink:
