Best of luck! From what I've read on here the interview questions seem to be okay/nice. Your ukcat score is amazing I just hope they're still handing out interviews

Has anyone done an MMI at Newcastle or elsewhere? Any tips? What should I expect?

Read what they have given you, that's the only advice really we can give. What dates your interview?

Make sure you read the info for each station carefully (dont skim read anything!)

Make sure you give a little smile to the interviewer when you walk in to show a little confidence (even tho you're nervous!) and shake the interviewers hand.

Definitely talk to other applicants when you're waiting as it helps calm you down. Just ask about how their medical application is going and where they're from etc...

Finally, when you're about to enter each station take a deep breath and say (or think to yourself) 'I can do this! :u:'.

Honestly, my first interview was scary but after having done 3 interviews i have found that you can do great in any interview as long as you stay calm and focused on the task at hand. So if you wanna take away anything from this post it is stay calm and focused and forget about your performance in other stations (unless you performed well of course! :biggrin:)

Hope this helps! :smile:
And good luck to everyone applying to Newcastle!

(I posted this in the Leeds Medicine thread also. And btw im not applying to Newcastle or Leeds but thought i'd help you guys out :wink:)
