You gotta go all the way to the end. If they didn't want you because your BMAT was too low, they would have rejected you by now so you're still in with a chance! I applied to George's and got an offer :biggrin:

but still waiting on Nottingham and Cardiff post interview. Although I sense a rejection for Cardiff because my interview was horrendous!! :frown:

How did you feel your interviews went?

Ahh but I don't think UCL have been through their "mass rejection" phase yet! Idek :/
I think the interviews went quite well so I'd be quite shocked if I don't get an offer from at least one of the two unis

Are you given a copy of your bmat essay before the interview?

Also, are there any ucl medical students on the thread? If you are, please could you give me a small account about what the course is like preferably in first year (or any year) in terms of patient contact, hours spent in small teaching groups/PBL and whether you get to do prosections or dissections? I've been on the website and read up about the course but I thought I'd get a better insight if I heard from a medical student. Thank you in advance😀

Does anybody remember what question 2 or 3 was from the bmat this year? The one that was most medicine related? So not the computer one...

Question 2 was a philosophical quote I think, and question 3 was something like a doctor should consider society when treating an individual.

They do remind you of your question at interview.

Q2- that which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence (i think)
Q3- it was like, you have to consider the needs of the outer society while treating the patient something like that

Hey guys
My interview is tomorrow, last one for me haha.
I'm just wondering if anyone did the BMAT question on the Picasso quote "computers are useless, they can only give you answers"?
If you did what did they ask you at interview?
Cheers

got an email from ucl asking for individual module grades. is this good or bad?

They asked me this and I got an interview two days later so I'd say its a good sign.

I did that BMAT question,
I dunno if I can say what they asked but the question on the BMAT asked us about what this quote means, your opinion and what the limits of technology is so just think about it using those questions :smile:
