Congratulations! I was interviewed that day too :smile:
All those with offers, please give me some last minute advice! I've got mine tomorrow.
Anything you guys wish you had done or prepared for? Anything to do to control nerves?
How to not get nervous midway through?
I want this offer so much 😳

They will know you want it!! Honestly, I think I came out saying to myself I hadnt said half as much stuff as I wanted to say. I think the main thing would be to make sure to smile and stay confident. I was told that if you get nervous look at the med student, they can be more encouraging. Have good posture, this seemed to help nerves too because unconsciously your telling yourself that you can do it :smile: Try to use their questioning to your advantage so you can really show all your hard work, and if you cant answer dont panic, it happens. Remember they are on your side and they want to give you that offer!! Good luck, you'll be amazing💕

Were you an international?
I'm nervous about what they would ask about my personal statement.
if i said i volunteered at a dementia care home, will they ask me about dementia facts or at a special needs school- will ask me about different diseases. i'm nervous that at the time I'll have a mind blank. Or an oncology clinic: will they ask me about different types of cancers?
i did a course and wrote about it on my ps: will they ask me scientific questions on the topics from the course: should I revise?
i think i'm just having last minute nerves but I'm nervous that I won't be completely prepared or they'll come out with something I won't know how to answer.
what sort of questions do they ask regarding your personal statement?

Id say theyre more like, what did you learn from this or difficulties of medicine etc. They dont have very long to grill you to the bone so don't panic! Its good to read up on all your subjects though, you won't be expected to know everything but a decent understanding is good. Good luck, you'll do great!!
