Barts and the London Applicants 2011

Ok.. so what does this have to do with you trying out your 'Why Barts' answer on me?

I wouldn't worry about knowing the article word for word...just make sure you have a few arguments for and against whatever it is about and as long as you can justify your opinion you should be fine They don't expect you to know everything about every little bit, and since in general these scenarios are ethical and there is no "right" or "wrong" answer you'll be fine

I think showing you have some personality is more important that being a robot and knowing every little thing. I suppose you can do that by elaborating on the "Why Barts" question, say what kind of thing's that we do here that interest you, what we have here that may not be available elsewhere etc

You'll find that the interviewers are really friendly, I sure did, and I really enjoyed my interview here. Time really flies by and I didn't even feel like it was an interview, more or a chat about Barts and why I'd like to be there - with some questions on the article but you don't spend long on it as that's not really the main focus. By that I mean the interview is there to get an insight into you as a person and if they think you'd do well here (which I'm sure you all will do)

I also remember my interviewers looking at the time and saying "oh we still have time..." and then proceeding to try to find a question to ask

Wish i could recognise you guys so i know who are the ones that have been on TSR lol,
What colour ties!!!,

If you think it's me that you say. Simply ask what penguins say and I will quack

hope so. 4 hour interview?? seriously.

I applied and was interviewed when the entrance exam was MCAT (yes, many years ago) the interview process was only 2 hours if that. I know the format has changed slightly but didn't realise it was 4 hours now.

If Penguinsaysquack gets into Barts and the London, I will look after him and make him awesome

I hope Penguinsaysquack gets in, he's clearly an awesome guy

Chicken!

I should pull some strings to get Penguinsaysquack an offer

What do you mean you've run out of false quotes?

Even though I was missed off the list originally, I still love Penguinsaysquack

Morning people

Ready?

Ready?
Just thought, when is your interview? Might have got it wrong there. Tomorrow or no?

I just deleted that message realisig that it's actually afternoon now




hmm..not totally ready. Got many Qs to go through. How many questions roughly are you preparing for?=/

I go through the ISC book so about 90 normal ones. They can all be answered using common sense or with about 5 examples I have so familiarisation is all I'm doing. Mine's tomorrow so getting desperate now!

What time? Good luck! You decided what you wearing?....Im sure you have.


90?
I've only just about got through 10!

Some of us reapplicants that are being interviewed tomorrow think it would be a good idea to blow off steam after the interview the alcohol way

Do you know of any bars near The London that are relatively cheap?

Thanks

LHT (tiger striped buillding - i kid you not) , is literally right next to Royal london Hospital, just look to the left!

and then you could always finish the night off with royal pfc!?!?....NOTHING beats fried chicken

B

Penguin! Ready to take those interviewers?
