I thought "practical" was the best way to go. I went for chinos, shirt, flat shoes and a gilet. I didn't got for a dress because I just thought that we're applying for a practical course so something practical would be best. This is just my opinion, but I hope this has helped :smile: x

I'm going to slightly disagree. 16.2 weeks at 13 places with all the bases covered was not enough last year. It simply isn't possible to have more variety than that and they didnt like it
Its too late now but I advise people applying not to apply to Liverpool unless they significantly exceed those numbers. To be excluded on that criterion alone is frustrating and a waste of a choice. Fortunately RVC and Bristol have a much more multicomponent assessment of suitability (including WE but not only WE)

This is what I suspected... I had 14 weeks last year and double that this year But still waiting to hear from lpool. I know my lack of invite may be fir other reasons.

When I was at Surrey, even though it could've been practical, there were a lot of people in dresses and skirts:smile: There was also quite a lot in trousers but either way I think everyone in dresses looked fine, but we didn't end up havingto do anything practical anyway! I wore jeans but I was literally the only one!


I think I might just stick with what I have, I'm sure I won't be the only one! Thanks :smile:
Saw someone on Connect that has been invited to an interview at Nottingham and I still don't have anything 😁😁

If you have an interview ... Well done and good luck.... Many hundreds of others on this forum have none and will go through the whole year without getting an interview .. So be pleased you have one interview and try not to be jealous of others ... Though we all know you don't mean "really jealous" please, every one getting more than One interview, be sensitive to the many hundreds on this forum with no interviews.

For those that have had an interview at Bristol or Surrey this year, what where the interviewers like? Last year, at one of my interviews, one of my interviewers in the face to face was from France and I found it very hard to understand the questions he was trying to ask, phrased in quite weird ways and the accent. Probably didn't help I was concentrating so much. I had to ask quite a few questions to be re-phrased and eventually the other interviewer rephrase his questions without me asking -so annoying. Hopefully, this year I get someone I can understand. So how have people found the interviewers so far?

Surrey-all the interviewers were absolutely lovely (although ai am pretty sure one of them despised me) and they made sure you felt comfortable and were all completely fine to understand! Felt sorry for them trying to understand me talking so fast! You also get to talk to some of them beforehand:smile: Bristol-I gave no clue, I gavnt heard back from them:smile:

I met one of the professors when I was doing a work experience placement at the AHPA in November, and he was very nice. Hopefully I don't get the one that despised you - have you got a name so I can avoid and hide in toilets LOL. The professor I spoke to said that's why they have the MMIs so that one persons opinion doesn't ruin it. I sure he loved you really - just shy :smile:
