Ok that makes me feel a whole lot better! When did you receive the interview invite?

I just quickly scanned last year's thread. There were some invitation offers given out to people who got a first with 617, 637 & 690 ukcat score. But I don't see any people with 2:1 got an interview (nor rejection though). Barts said they weight UKCAT as 50 percent, but it looks like they don't care UKCAT at all.


Ye I'm the guy who got 617. Everyone gets points for getting a 2.1 but will get extra points if they have a 1st, masters (no distinction of classification), or a PhD. I'm guessing that loads of people are applying to Barts so only those with a 1st and/or a Masters/PhD will get an interview.
has anyone had their interview yet? whats it like, v casual/v formal/ somewhere in between?

I received the original one five days ago (17/12) and immediately requested a rescheduling. Then the new one arrived Wednesday (20/12). Just to give an overview of the time frame.

Stats

Last year apparently they had to read an article for the interview?
I haven't received any articles with my interview invitation coz i think we do a group task but I wasn't sure if I just didn't read things properly. anyoen else with an interview not got an article to read?
I got an interview and haven't received an article. They only give you the article 2 weeks before he interview, so that's why you've haven't received anything yet. It's not a group interview either, it's a panel interview.

Don't need to have a suit. A smart shirt and trousers would be fine
