You won't hear until 2 weeks before the interview.

They mark the personal statements out of 15. 5 points for each of the "non-academic entry requirements" that are in the prospectus.

Hope that helps!

Non academic being work experience and what else?!

have motivation and initiative (so study work experience self study adult education does that cover this)
are literate and articulate (good english)
have the ability to demonstrate a commitment to becoming a doctor (self educating travellung 4 hours a day to an access course)
Is that enough

Work experiences isn't a specific criteria. It is the three you've listed above.

I can't tell you if it is enough. Only admissions can do that. :yes:

Oh no what i meant was the things i listed all fall into those categories and work experience is something that you should have to have a fair chance of getting into southampton

If they're choosing 96 out of about 600, then I'm assuming it'll be mostly the 15/15's that'll get the interviews, which is a very subjective point system :/

This is very true. I think they have a lot more guidance on how to score those things, it's just that I don't know about it though, it its less arbitrary than it seems :yes:

I still don't know the answer. You can't guess these things unfortunately. Just have to wait and see :yes:

Its about the quality of the experience what you have learnt and picked up along the way and how those experiences have benefited you.
Its quality over quantity but you should gain as much experience as possible

That means that interviews will be informed in like 2-3 weeks. That's nerve wracking.

Question: are parents allowed to take you to the interview and can they wait? Do you get any financial help for funding travel to an interview?
