Just to reassure you, kings aren't looking at situational judgement this year. I got band 3 and had an interview early dec. Also don't worry, they are interviewing in February too so they'll get in touch soon hopefully! :smile:

That said, they do take 70% of people they interview.. So it's not too bad odds! As long as you did something well it should be ok :smile: even if you think you didn't, they seem to have given offers to people who thought it went terribly as well..so never lose hope! :wink:

Anyone else who had an interview during the first week of December still waiting? Had my interview on the 3rd and haven't heard a word since, haven't been asked to upload my passport.

I really hope so too. I haven't heard back from any of my unis. That makes it even more nerve racking.

How do you guys feel the interview went?

And I think the process is a bit random, so don't worry.

Hi, everyone! I recently got an interview invitation, and I wanted to know if 'Photo ID' means a scan of your passport or just a passport photo?
I'm really excited but incredibly nervous, I dream of studying at King's, and this is my very first interview. I'm just afraid I'll draw a blank and forget everything on the pages of notes I've managed to prepare!

Scan of passport not just photo

Don't rely to heavily on your notes in preparation. Yes, it is important to go over what you might say in response to particular questions, but the main purpose of it is really just to have a breadth and depth of topics to draw upon in your answers. Otherwise, you'll come across as too rehearsed/rigid in your responses, and you'll get stumped when they ask something you couldn't possibly plan for. Just read your stuff, keep it in the back of your mind, and practice drawing upon all those great things you've done in response to a large range of questions. They can literally ask you anything haha! So don't over prepare and be yourself :smile: that said, you should probably be able to give an answer to why medicine off the top of your head!

Thanks! I was aware that memorizing notes is a no-go, but I still want to have answers to those oh-so-common questions. Why medicine?, I find is one of the hardest questions there is, the answer to which I could never perfect until I myself am a doctor. How did your interview go?
