I'd give the post until the end of this week if you can. 2nd class post can take up to 5 working days I think :/
Definitely drop them an email if nothing arrives by next week though.

Hey! I gave them a call last Thursday and they told me I'm on the list for having a letter sent out for interview - but will call again tomorrow if I don't receive anything in the post!

Hey guys,
just wondering if anyone can shed some light on the different stations for the MMI as I never done one before and would be interested to know more, especially from people who have already been through the process :smile:

thanks

Hey buddy, if you could just describe the interview that would really help. I'm trying to prepare as best I can and a little forewarning really helps with the nerves. Ta

Hi. Thanks! How many stations were there and what did they consist of, please?

Hi! I realise I'm very late joining this thread, but from some initial internet-searching it seems like there will be 8 separate interviewers (clinicians, academics and a lay person). According to the website they'll be asking about whether we're realistic about what it means to be a doctor, our interest in the field of medicine, and personal attributes necessary for the study and practice of medicine. This is vague, of course, but I suppose it's enough to prepare a little?

My interview's on 1st April at 9:30 :smile:

Thanks for that. I suppose they tailor the questions to what we have put on our applications, do you reckon? I should have made a copy of exactly what I put on my Work Experience form. I wish you good luck with your interview though I wish myself slightly more, of course!

I can say there were 8 stations but for obvious reasons I'm not allowed to tell you what each station was. I think it has slightly changed since my interview but MMI is still a good way of carrying out the interviews.

don't panic if you mess up one station (I did) just move onto the next room and I'll be honest as soon as you step in through the door you forget about everything else :smile:

I hope this helps relax you guys a little bit knowing that a mistake here and there isn't always the end. It's very relaxed and you'll enjoy it.

Thanks for the tips. Georges was MMI and I bombed - hence the rejection. Are the stations timed and your buzzed out? And do the interviewers interact at all? I appreciate there is only so much you can tell us... Thanks

I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt that way about George's. I'm hoping notts is nicer too...

Without giving too much away, the stations are timed and a bell rung at the end, but the interviewers are certainly interactive and encouraging. I found it a far more pleasant/less nerve wracking experience than SGUL, and a good deal of people agree with me in that respect.
