a question to distract us from the dreadful wait:

does anyone know how the PBL is at Barts?


From what I've heard, Bart's is quite traditional in it's teaching - lectures and tutorials, not much PBL, unlike for example, Glasgow, which is entirely PBL.

Hope this helps :\

I've heard that they have a PBL session every week, so that they have 1 week to study the problem and find a 'solution' to it. Every once in a while, they have to write a proper report about a PBL case which they turn in and have it marked so that it contributes to the final grade. At least that's what I remember from a chat I've had last year with a 1st year student :smile:

haha I've JUST received my confirmation email, AFTER emailed them asking about where the hell it is.

Not impressed barts, not impressed at all.
(Although an offer would make up for the anger)

I don't think so! Although they run the selection centre (in conjunction with Warwick) for their grad entry course and the format of that has always been MMI.

I dont think they have MMI interviews... I think it's a semi structured interview which means you still get a bit of panel interview questions. Could anyone shed light on this?

When I called them, they told me for undergraduates it is a semi-structured interview with 2 or 3 panel members, one is usually a medical student and everyone receives similar questions. I don't think they use your PS for it.

On the contrary, for undergrads I believe it is mainly PS based,other than the ethical questions surrounding the news article they give you.

This thread is so quiet! It's right to think that we shouldn't really hear anything until the new year, yeah?

thanks! In the open day the speaker said that they try to get out all pre-interview rejections in December as well

According to the stalking page last year, people started to hear from Barts from 11/12 ish .... so it's still a long time to go!!!!
I got rejected early December last year so really hoping it does not happen again :frown: maybe they are sorting out rejections first :redface:
