I would just follow the rules honestly, we don't know how strict they are unless you feel like you're a really good applicant that they won't care but not too sure:/

OK thanks!! I was just confused coz when I went to Reading I was wearing formal stuff but I saw quite a few people in like jeans and converses and didn't know how much how you dressed affected the outcome...
Good luck for tomorrow!!!

That's alright! But we're the first ones to be interviewed so I'm guessing they'll be looking for a good impression! See you tomorrow

offer from Brighton for pharmacy! yay lol the interview was really relaxed! LOL we only found out after the interview that we had the main admission tutor, who basically told us on the spot we got offers, he was like "do you want the good news, or the good news" haha. Don't worry guys lol during the interview my black pen ran out and so I switched to blue like an idiot and the admission tutor laughed so don't worry guys! x

Yeah, gonna make sure I know the functional groups inside out! I'm doing chemistry, maths and biology.

Nice, what other uni's have you applied too!

any tips on Brighton interview guys? mine is tomorrow


Hey the interview is so relaxed! make sure you participate and get your views across and remember, no matter what THE PATIENT COMES FIRST! if you get that viewpoint across then you'll probs get an offer, I wouldn't recommend asking people to tell you their scenarios as my group finished early and we went through another scenario- the admission tutor who I had my interview with basically had sheets of different ethical scenarios but just remember to read the scenario and look for any info that is important and remember the patient comes first! haha xx

on saturday 29 Nov :-) yes updated on track- offer is for ABB but I think mine updated today cause I had the main admission tutor for my interview, he told us we would get offers in the interview room and that all other members of staff would need to feedback to him and hand the sheets you filled out to him so it will probs take a little longer so don't worry! xx

I also applied to brighton as my 5th choice (I'm a dentistry applicant) and when he asked if we all applied for pharm I told him that I applied for dentistry and pharmacy was my backup , so I think that you shouldn't worry about not having track updated yet. you did well to get to the interview stage so I think you will get an offer, just be patient! x

its fine - youre in a group with three other people, the interviewer reads the scenario to you and gives us a sheet and pen to write on, he also gives us a copy of the scenario and we sat on the same desk. The paper is just to gather your thoughts/ organise it- what would you do and why? what is the relevant info given? what would you do to avoid this happening again? and then you discuss the topic with each other and the interviewer. sorry I cannot disclose that info as the interviewer asked me not to. x
