Really interesting interview format, didn't expect that! Oh and Juliet in case you remember me, I'm the guy who didn't know anything about the questionnaire :smile:
How long does everyone think we'll have to wait before we find out?

People last year got offers and rejections mid-December I think, and some people were held in reserve.

This time, I think they said that they'll aim to get back to everyone by the end of Jan. They are interviewing more people this year so maybe that's had an impact.

Basically, I have no idea but I'm trying to shift my focus elsewhere for now.

I think it went fairly well actually, I got quite a nice set of ethical scenarios, and the unrelated questions were okay as well, the nerves want fast! How about you?

Yeah it was alright, I felt it was a little rushed and I could've expanded a bit more but overall it was okay :smile:

Interview is only decider or will consider overall in getting offers?

I think they said that after interview the offers are solely based on interview performance unless a tie break situation.
Not sure how to feel about that lol :frown:

I was so so nervous that I just couldn't think properly, and now I'm thinking of all the things I wish I said :frown:

Exactly the same with me, I rushed my answers where I should have stopped and thought first :frown: bit gutted now but there we go
My interview was v.short too, regret not expanding on answers :frown: Less than 3 weeks till the fate is most likely decided
Don't worry guys we're all in the same boat. Don't know if any of you are the same but after any exam/interview I always feel like I've screwed up but now I'm just at the point where I try not to overthink it :smile: I'm sure we've all done well enough, everyone I met today came across really well

Oh ok, thank you:smile:
Everyone who I met at my interview on the 27th was so nice and friendly! Wish I had gotten people's names! If the medical school had to choose us on personality alone, they would have such a tough time choosing I swear!
Does anyone else feel like they want to know before xmas but at the same time they don't? I really want to know if I got in, but at the same time I am so sure that I mucked up my interview really badly that I don't want to find out and ruin xmas! Hahaa :')
In any case, good luck to everyone! *fingers crossed...and toes...and arms...and legs...*

Lol I agree with you, I really want to know now but at the same time I have a feeling it could be bad news. Just have to try and remain optimistic, everyone may surprise themselves - probably went better than we think! When exactly are we told whether we've got an offer or not?
