Exeter medical school applicants 2015!

I was singing Frozen!!

Have any grads heard anything yet? I know I'm probably not going to hear anything so I'm preparing for the March GAMSAT, but I can't help checking my email after every few units. Hoping some of you have heard back so I can stop checking and get back to working properly.

So all we need to bring to interview is ID and Health Assessment form?

When I last called Exeter, they said they still have not decided for a cut off score for GAMSAT, but we should expect to hear in the next 10 days. I called on the 3rd of December.

I don't know why is this so hard. Just say 'all the graduates can come, that's fine' and we'll be happy!

The interviewers were messed up! One was looking friendly and helpful initially, but then gradually became uninterested after some while, another was looking at me very seriously throughout the interview and the third one was making a sad face! I panicked and gave some non-relevant and some slightly stupid answers.

Unlucky I gusss

Yeah, I guess so too. Some people had very friendly interviewers apparently, but the ones I had were terrible. They were looking at me as if I had committed a crime! Have you had your interview yet btw? If so, how did it go?

ROFL looking at a pre interview rejection here

We should all tell them that we'll just keep reapplying until they give us offers, so they should just save themselves the bother give us places now.

If anyone is interested, someone made an FOI request for past GAMSAT scores and interviews/offers. The bit in the notes about how the tables refer to UCAS cycle applied during and not 'year-of-entry' doesn't seem quite right though.

I get the non and clinical members but getting some random street walker to comment on my application is a bit chancy.

I think the idea behind it is to see whether a general member of the public would be comfortable if you were their doctor (5 years down the line with training and what have you of course!)

In the past when I've had interviewers that were members of the public they've been linked to healthcare ie. a carer or social worker. No idea what they'll be like at Exeter, but I doubt it's literally a randomer, I'm sure Exeter will check that whoever it is can provide an accurate, and representative view of whether generally people would feel comfortable with you

So we're 90% sure it's not a tramp?

It's like a terrible joke.
