how is the teaching on the bm6? PBL? or ? I cant find anything

BM6 is taught in a similar manner to BM5 except there will be less people in your "class" as it were. There is overall less anatomy as well compared to future years so you have less labs (about 2 in semester one and a few more in semester two). You're mostly at Highfield compared to SGH and have fewer lecturers. It's not PBL.

At the end of the interviews do they give you feedback?

Apologies if this has already been answered, but in the email, it says: "It is important that you also please bring photocopies of your documentation with you".

What is this documentation? It is a little unclear.

No sorry

Some people said they were told "this is a good interview." etc but still got an offer so it means nothing tbh.

When we get asked why southampton, do we focus on the year zero or the whole course along with bm5?

What is the weightage of importance in decision for offer between the group task and interview? Which is counted for more in the decision for offer?

Hi, you mentioned previously that someone had the option to transfer from bm6 to bm5? If i was to get AAA or higher, do you think I would have the option to transfer?

No.
It only ever happens if they have too many students in BM6 because they over offered AND there is space in BM5. In the 6 years I have been here this has happened once (6 years ago) and they've since cut the number of offers from 45 to 43. Even if they have too many, they will look at the students and see if any are even suited to jumping. We had 33 in my class instead of 30 and only 1 was offered a move. They didn't take it.

Try not to have that sot of mind set at interviews. If you're only applying for your grades and would skip the year if you could, this doesn't set you up to answer "why BM6?" very well.

5 minutes to prepare yourself for a discussion on a topic or statement or question they give you
15 minutes to discuss
10 minutes for the group to feedback.

That's all you're allowed to know and all you need to know. No prior knowledge required. No prep possible.
