Ooh, when was your Nottingham interview? It could have been on the same day as mine XD my king's interview was on the 14th and my Nottingham one was on the 18th :biggrin:
Aw, I'm sorry about Sheffield :frown: So many of my friends also got rejected pre-interview, they seem to be really harsh with their selection criteria


My Nottingham one was only three days ago ahahah :smile: I had Leicester two days before that, so it was all a bit of a rush... Have you heard anything from Nottingham?? I think my personal statement must have been a bit dodgy regarding Sheffield :L

It was harder than my Birmingham interview, but slightly easier than my Nottingham interview - or maybe about the same XD


Thanks aha I haven't applied to Nottingham or Birmingham so can really compare but still thanks

To anyone who's had an interview, do you think that it can be prepared for or were the questions quite obscure? I have mine next thursday :biggrin:
I have an interview coming up mid Feb and had a few questions for anyone who's already had an interview - I would honestly really really appreciate it if anyone could help as I have no clue how to go about preparing!

How long exactly are the stations, or do they vary and if so how? Do the interviewers ask follow up questions or are you supposed to talk for the full ____ minutes? Are there any group stations? Have the interviewers seen your UCAS form i.e. did you have any personal statement based questions like in panel interviews? And finally, was there a station where you had to write something like an essay?

Thanks so much people! :smile: x

Hi lik you i have my interview in feb, i have mine on the 12th, each station is crom 5-8 minutes longs and they consist of a senario which tests your non cognitive ability, once you stop talking i guess the interviewer will ask a follow up question to make yoy talk aboit another aspect of the situation etc, i dont know about kings but some other unis do have group stations so just be open to that, apparently the interviewers havent seen your ucas application although they will see your personal statement and there could be a station in which they talk to you about it

Oh no, I had my interview on the 14th of December but I haven't heard anything back yet :frown: shiiiiiiiit


Yeah same here. Maybe they're only giving out offers to people who clearly landed above the cut-off, and for the rest of us they're just waiting a little longer until they interview some more people so the average score becomes a little clearer. I'm not sure if you know what I mean but yeah.

but not many people seem to have gotten offers? (or maybe not many have posted at least) so they may be handing then out slowly over a space of days I hope?

I agree with the person below, they've barely given out any offers from the looks of things, so maybe they'll be giving out more Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday? Hopefully? XD

I agree, I really hope this is true XD :lol:
Guys whatever you got on the UKCAT is fine i know someone who become a doctor next year she got 550 or bit less in her UKCAT which I understand this is below average for nursing staff? But she got in, you just need to show you want it more than everyone else.
PS She is at St George's though, cut offs can occur to speed up the process. King's last year used 630 as a dividing marker.

Same here! I came out of my interview feeling fairly positive but now I just don't know anymore :/
At King's, is it similar to Notts in that you have one room with 8 'cubicles' right next to each other?
After one station at Nott's, I was reading the instructions for the next but more focussed on the interviewers at the previous station laughing quietly for ages😖

Same :biggrin: omg, when did you have your interview??


Congrats! Is your offer for A100?
