UCL Medicine Replies

BONO- According to The Times good university guide in terms of Medicine Imperial is slightly better than UCL. As Lucy said they are on par with each other and going to either is a privelage. You have rightly sensed that i myself prefer UCL only slightly though- this is solely based on personal preferences, it's where i feel 'more right' and that matters more when considering where you want to spend six years! i think Lucy would agree?

Ahh right, I see now, so imperial is pretty new/less established than that of UCL.

Yeah, I guess so - both are still fab though !

Ohhh yes, I wasn't disputing that, just that Imperial seemed to be more talked about than UCL in general, although as you said, for medicine its pretty much even, although UCL seems more respected and established perhaps.

Either way, good luck to both of you!

iv finallllly heard from UCL- (via email??wierd!!) its the first med sch iv heard from!! i have an interview on march 3rd. im scared!!! i dont wanna screw it up/ n e tips on how to "prepare"?
personally id rather go to kings. i was surprised that i heard from UCL first cos ppl normally hear from kings first, then UCL.. i j hope imnot on the 'maybe' pile...

...Have a question to ask at the end (unless you want to say "no thank you, all my questions have been answered by the prospectus already etc." but I personally think that's a bit of a cop out!)...

Be prepared to be asked anything, go in with an open mind because they can ';throw' anything at you!

Anyway, hey Sam! I'm alright thanks How about you? I have a huge backlog of homework to get through, have left it pretty late as usual It's a shame that they didn't ask you if you had any questions especially as you had some prepared. I think it really depends on if you have time to spare or not, they finished 'questioning' me quite early so I think they just wanted to use up the rest of my allocated time slot.

I;m cool thanks! You know the homework backlog thing i have that problem aswell! although i have been working quite alot this half term- i need the money!

I can't believe you were upset after your interview you done sooo well!

I am expecting to hear within the nest week i'm pretty nervous though! Just hoping for the best! Speak soon-goodnight!x

They might also be downright rude e.g. "Why should we make you a doctor if you're just going to go off and have babies?" lol

if i'm wrong tho, please do correct me, i don't really have much faith in what our skool tells us nemore, but it does seem to make sense...

No, your school is completely right, interviewers aren't supposed to ask those sorts of questions. However, I know someone this year who was asked that, maybe it was meant in good humour? She was shocked that she was asked it (rightfully so) but she didn't take the question seriously.

really? which uni was that?

If I remember correctly, it was Imperial Not positive if it was Imperial but it was definitely one of the london med schools.

oh rite...yea i've heard stories about them not being nice to ppl at interview, but they were all right with me...
did she get an offer there in the end?
