Can I ask what your A level grades were?
My stats are similar to yours

My VR score was 630, BBB at A levels, 1st in Biomed and MSc pending.

Warwick said we cant ask for feedback which is a shame, i really want to know why I missed out on an interview!

Where did you guys find out Warwick are doing MMI this year? The interview email doesn't seem to have anything on it!

On the email the link you click on to book the interview, there's another section called important info or something and it's there.

Heya guys,

Can anyone who has done the work experience form let me know how many spaces they have to enter information? I have got in touch with my major work and volunteering placements to ask for references but I also have a number of smaller placements which I think are important but that also carry fewer hours but may be more relevant.

I'm also emailing to find out when they collect references (as I don't want to lose my current job before getting a firm offer for medicine and we have redundancies going on) and I'll let you all know when I have a response.

Edit: Please ignore the above, having re-read the guidance there is space for 5 experiences and if these total 70 hours then you don't need to add any more but can use them as examples for interview. If you need to add more then you can email them across. Feeling very relieved that the work experience form indicates that they consider person centred work experience as well as NHS (non patient care) centred work experience to be relevant.

hey is anyone else using first aid (Red Cross/St Johns etc) as part of their work experience? If so what are you including in your hours? Are you only including duties or are you including weekly centre meetings and training too?

Same here! And thanks for sending the email. I'm in a similar position and have not told anyone at the office about my plans... The stress never seems to end!

Heya,

I'm planning to put mine down. I've been with St John for nearly a year and I'm still waiting for my bloody manual handling! Will also be putting down the time I spend helping out with the Badgers.

PS - My interview is at 2.15pm on Friday 20 March Nug, am I right in thinking I will see you there?

Not sure if this helps, but I'm planning to include the training I did for my hospice volunteering. In many ways it was more valuable than some of the hospice work itself.

Anyone else planning to include training as part of their 70 hours?

oh jeez I had to do like 20 hours training for my position in the nhs..you dont think its cheeky to include that do you?

Ahh found it, thanks

10min stations are quite unusual for MMI, they're usually shorter.

Oh wow - MMIs are a major change for WMS, although not overdue. Do you know any more information? They're 10 minutes each, do they say how many stations or what they will cover? Do they still tell you to book out half a day for the interview?

There won't be any first-year or second-year med students on campus at this point; it's the first week of Easter break (I suspect this is entirely intentional on behalf of WMS).
