I'd like a nice question about where the nose is located or something

Then it might be followed up by questions like why it's located there and how is the sensory information carried to and interpreted by the brain...

Because Cambridge is a better uni?? :smile:

Cambridge is always the better than the 'other' school. It is an unshakable truth.

But oxford and cambridge are so similar? What nuances differentiate/ make cambridge better than oxford for medicine?

Hi, sorry to bother you but what extra curricula's did you do? i.e. -did you shadow a doctor etc?
Also, how are you finding the current work load as a med student and why did you choose cambridge and not oxford?

Cambridge is more scientific, and they have an MB/PhD option, which Oxford does not - that's what attracted me most, I'm into research

I'd probably say it's a beneficial trait to have a nose on the front of your face because you could smell dangerous things before you walk into them

Lets just say... That was awful and I very very highly doubt I will get a place on that performance!!

The worse it went, the more they pushed you, the more they like you...
So the saying goes anyway, if you felt like your interview was a breeze you're (supposedly) less likely to get a place.

So... DONT WORRY :smile:

But all the questions they asked me were biology and I only started my AS this year so haven't done much... And I knew none of the answers :/ My fingers are crossed!!

They'll know that and take it into consideration I'm sure! Also, they're far more interested in how you think, not what you know! So don't stress over it. :tongue:

I did my ALevels and left school in summer 2013. I did maths, f maths, chem and physics... I applied for medicine last year with no luck so to boost my application I decided to do as bio this year so I've only just started it!! Lets just say that I have researched which unis I could apply for very very carefully!!
And I'm applying to Christ's :smile:
